Description

With so many climbing options in the world, having a truly beautiful backdrop sets your trip apart…. Frey in Bariloche provides truly stunning surroundings in which to climb!

Located about 20km from downtown Bariloche in Patagonia, the Frey refuge and climbing routes are situated 1700m above sea level and next to the iconic Frey spire.

A stunningly picturesque area, the refuge overlooks the green tinted Toncek Lagoon. Adding the final touch is Mount Catedral, a few kilometres away, dominating the horizon and finishing the painting!

I have been climbing in Frey since I was a child, I learned to climb through my local school and now I’m excited to offer you the chance to join me on this gorgeous terrain.

The climbing in Frey is renowned internationally and is some of the best in Argentina. Orange granite rock of excellent quality that contains many fissures and formations perfect for climbing.

There are a variety of routes and difficulties so you can be sure to find something right for you.

We will meet in central Bariloche and then the journey to the refuge will take about 3 hours.

The refuge is a gorgeous piece of construction, granite sculpture work, wood panels and a tiled roof combine to create accomodation that is easy on the eye.

Hosting up to 40 people and with all the necessary amenities, the Frey Refuge provides a comfortable nights sleep after everyday’s climb.

I provide a flexible programme where the difficulty and length of climb can be adapted to meet your preferences. For more details, read the itinerary below.

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!

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

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.

Cami

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.
