Located near the city of Bariloche, Argentina, the Van Titter valley is a gorgeous place. Like so much of Argentinean Patagonia, the valley is full of natural wonder. And during the winter season, when blanketed with fresh snow, it is a terrific place to enjoy some great ski descents.
The trip will begin at the famous Cerro Catedral (2,405m). We will use the ski lifts to reach the peak’s beautiful ski resort. There, you will get to enjoy some wonderful views! Afterwards, we will trek either on foot or skins, depending on the snow conditions, before we begin descending into the Van Titter valley.
The descents you will get to choose from are a lot of fun. However, they can be a little tough at times. And while they are not reserved only for experts, participants should have some previous ski touring experience. It is also important that you are in good physical condition as well.
Skiing in Patagonia is the kind of adventure you never forget. It’s an inspiring, stunning environment, well worth visiting and enjoying. It’s no wonder so many popular films utilize it! So send me a request, and let me guide you on a great skiing experience in the Van Titter valley.
I can also take you on another full day ski touring adventure on the nearby Cerro Lopez as well.

Mountain Guide
Originally from San Carlos de Bariloche, as a teenager I became interested in climbing and skiing.
I'm a certified AAGM mountain guide since 2005 and a ski guide, and worked in Northern and Southern Patagonia, including expeditions such as the Patagonian icefield round trips, Nahuel Huapi and Los glaciares national parks´guide.
I'm also a second degree ski patrol and have been working for the last 15 winters in Catedral (Bariloche, Argentina) and Grandvalira (Andorra). ANPS and EASP ski patrol.
I climbed many mountains at Chalten area (Guillaumet, Mermoz, Rafael, Saint Exupéry, media luna), Cerro Fitz Roy (supercanaleta, and Affanasief) and Pilar Casarotto (first female team). Also passionate for sport climbing, I reached a maximum grade of 7 c + (French scale) and have skied through several mountains including Cerro Gorra blanca, Vespignani, Tronador and Lanin.
I'm also a Yoga Vital instructor.

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.
