Description

Experience the majesty of the Patagonian landscape during this adventurous privately guided ski mountaineering descent of a classic Patagonian volcano!

With its classic pyramid form and snow covered slopes, the Volcano Lanin is a gorgeous volcano situated in Patagonia on Argentina’s border with Chile. Its fantastic snow conditions and long descent make the peak an ideal objective for a thrilling ski mountaineering trip. Rising to 3,776 meters/12,388 feet, this is the perfect trip for experienced backcountry skiiers looking to escape the crowds and experience the magic and mystery of the Patagonian wilderness.

During this 2 day trip, we will take in the incredible panoramic views from the volcano’s summit before our exhilarating ski descent. We meet in Bariloche the night before our departure for a trip briefing and dinner. The next morning, we drive to the base of the volcano, near the town of Junin de los Andes. We finish the day climbing to the RIM Hut, enjoying some skiing around the refuge before turning in for the night.

The next day, our summit push begins before sunrise. The climb will take us several hours over moderately difficult glaciated terrain. During the last portion of the journey, use of crampons will be necessary.

Once we arrive at the summit, we celebrate our achievement and take in incredible panoramic views, which stretch from the volcanoes of Villarica, Tronador, Llaima in the west, to the vast Patagonian Steppe in the east. It is a stunning place to pause and appreciate the immensity and beauty of Patagonia.

From the summit, we will enjoy a thrilling descent of 2,500 meters/8,200 ft on our skis. The slopes are moderately angled and surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. The conditions range from powder to spring skiing depending on the season. Once we reach the Rim Hut, we continue down to the valley through the forest with some lovely gladed skiing.

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.
