Description

For three exciting days, I would like to guide you from Bariloche to the summit of Mount Tronador (3,491m) and back.

Mount Tronador is an amazing peak that rises high on the border between Argentina and Chile. However, despite it being on the cusp of two nations, it represents the beauty of Patagonia equally. The wilderness and natural surroundings spread out near the peak are marvellous. You will get to see lakes and rivers, valleys and forests during this trip.

Day 1 will begin in the beautiful city of Bariloche. From there, we will take a drive to Pampa Linda. Once there, we will take a 4 to 5 hour trek to the Meiling hut (1,900m), where we will spend the night.

Day 2 of the trip will start very early in the morning. After breakfast, we will start hiking on the glacier, taking advantage of the early morning firm snow. After traversing the Filo de la Vieja we will reach a large plateau. At the plateau, the terrain will get steep and windy. As a result, we will start using ropes and pitching and rope fixing our way to the magnificent Tronador summit. After you’ve enjoyed the unforgettable summit views, we will then make our way back to the Meiling hut, where we will spend the night.

Day 3 of the trip will begin with a delicious breakfast. After you’ve eaten we will make our way back to Pampa Linda, have lunch, and drive back to Bariloche.

Mount Tronador is a fantastic climb. The views, as well as the experience of attaining them is a sensational adventure. And if you would like to experience it for yourself, all you have to do is send me a request.

Mountain Guide

I´m based in Bariloche, Patagonia, where I guide full time, mostly technical custom trips with small groups.

I started guiding in 1998, and my job took me all around the globe. In Montana, USA, where I lived for many years I worked extensively in the Rockies, guiding in the Tetons, Wind Rivers, and the Beartooths. Back to Argentina, I spend most of my time ski guiding volcanoes, rock climbing at Frey and mountaineering in Chalten and Tronador.

The rest of time I work as a Technical director at the AAGM, forming new guides, and trying to be an exciting dad for my two kids, taking advantage of the great backyard we have at home!

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.
