Description

Cerro López is an iconic mountain in the area of Bariloche, in North Patagonia. It was the birthplace of mountaineering for many generations.

Here you can find many itineraries for ski touring in a stunning setting. Each of them has different levels of difficulty.

From descents in the forest between lenga trees, to large slopes and gutters in good inclination in the high mountain, Cerro López and its surrounding peaks will let you enjoy unforgettable moments of skiing and freeride.

The three main routes to ski in Cerro López are the following:

Forest Filo de las Cabras

This is the shortest and safest option. It's ideal for skiing in special days when the weather is hostile to exit forest protection or when the conditions of avalanche risk are high.

Filo de las Cabras – Magnat

This is an excellent route to ski a lot in one day, changing environments and orientations. Once here, we can stay on the hillside that has the best snow, or reach two summits in one day. Depending on the physical condition of the group, we can make several descents.

Cerro López route

This route is also very good, because we can ski many vertical meters (over 600) and enjoy good snow and beautiful landscapes. This option is perhaps the most physically demanding. However, we can always dose the effort to manage the amount of descents we can perform.

The views from the summit and the slope of the descent are a great reward.

If you are travelling to Bariloche and you are interested in ski touring in Cerro López, please contact me. I also like ski touring in other locations in the area, like Frey or Pilquitron.

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.
