Description

Advanced excursions in the area of the Otto Meiling Refuge, Mount Tronador. Starting for the refuge, we'll summit the Argentine peak of one of the most iconic mountains in North Patagonia!

The excursion takes 8 to 12 hours. This will depend on the pace and the glacier conditions.

Due to the duration and character of the endeavour a good physical condition is mandatory. Besides, technical experience helps but is not a must.

The ascent starts around 4AM. Then, we cover 4.4 miles and 4430 feet across spectacular snowy glaciers and steep ridges. We reach the summit around noon. After a peek from the top the descent starts using the same route to get back to the refuge. Hopefully, we arrive not later than 3PM.

For operational and safety reasons there is a limit of two clients per guide. Another guide can join us in case of a larger group.

There are two options for this trip:

The first one, as described here, is a 1 day program, in which we go to the summit of the Argentinean Peak of Mt. Tronador from the Otto Meiling Refuge. If you choose this option you must do on your own the hike up from Pampa Linda to the refuge, where we'll meet. You must sleep there the night before because on summit day we start early in the morning. The path that goes up from Pampa Linda to the Meiling refuge is well marked, and you shouldn't have trouble doing it on your own if you have some previous experience in mountain trekking.

The second option is to do the whole program with me during the 3 days, including during day 1 the transfer from Bariloche to Pampa Linda and the ascent to the refuge, on day 2 the summit attempt, and on day 3 the descent from the refuge to Pampa Linda, and the transfer back from there to Bariloche.

In any case, let me know if you are interested in reaching the top of one of the most iconic mountains of Bariloche region!

I also offer a third option to ascend Tronador in a different trip, check it out!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
