Description

The Emilio Frey hut is located at the foot of the Frey Needle, surrounded by incredible towers and rocky spires on the banks of the Toncek Lagoon. Undoubtedly, it is one of the most picturesque refuges in Patagonia.

This full day trek I offer consists in a hiking adventure departing from the base of Cerro Catedral, Bariloche. After ascending with the chair lift up to the ridge of this mountain we’ll start the hike. We’ll border the west side of the massif. At this point we’ll be able to admire the famous Mount Tronador and all the Rucaco Valley.

After that, we must descend to the Schmoll Lagoon by a rocky terrain. Finally, we will reach the Toncek Lagoon, where the Frey Hut is. The total hike from the ski lift station to the refuge will take 4 hours.

After a deserved lunch and rest in the hut, we’ll return by the normal route to Villa Catedral. The way down is a little shorter and it will take about 3 hours.

If you want to join me on this trip please remember to bring the proper equipment. Trekking shoes, warm jacket and clothing, sunglasses, hat, gloves, sunscreen and water.

I worked several years in Europe as a ski patroller, and currently work as a teacher in the Argentinian Ski Patrollers School (EASP). I also worked as avalanche consultor in companies.

Man

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!

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.
