Description

If you are looking for an awesome winter adventure in the Andes, this trip is for you: reach the summit of Las Peinetas on a 2-day guided climb!

Las Peinetas (Spanish for “The Combs”) is an impressive granite massif located 70km from Pucon, within the Villarrica National Park. Also known as the Millalifen massif, it is part of the Andes and stands near the border with Argentina. During the winter, its edges and towers get covered with ice and snow, offering a unique opportunity for an amazing alpine ascent.

On this mountaineering adventure, we will cross a varied terrain (forests, rocks, ice and snow) before reaching the top of Las Peinetas. At the end, we will be rewarded with panoramic views of the Trancura River Valley and of both the Chilean and Argentine sides of the Andes. Furthermore, we will spend a night in this stunning spot, and may have the privilege of seeing a condor fly over the area!

Please note that this ascent is only recommended for people with a good fitness level and previous winter mountaineering experience. You should be able to successfully overcome some ice climbing sections. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you on the way. Additionally, keep in mind that in case I am not available at the date of your arrival, my brother Cristobal will take my place.

So, if you are up for an unforgettable 2-day mountaineering adventure in the Chilean Andes, please get in touch with me. I’ll be glad to guide you to the top of Las Peinetas!

IFMGA/UIAGM Mountain Guide from Chile

I was born in 1987, and since I was young I’ve been around the mountains, and for the past 12 years I’ve been practicing all mountain disciplines.

Some highlights of my climbing career: First Chilean to Cerro Torre via Ragni, first Torres del Paine alpine style traverse, and many other first ascents.

I did the IFMGA/UIAGM aspirant course in Bolivia in 2016, and recently got my full IFMGA certification in April 2018. I have also AIARE level 2 training.

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.
