Enjoy ski touring in 4 different Patagonian volcanos on this exhilarating 10-day program in Argentina and Chile.

Our meeting point will be in Bariloche, a beautiful city located in the Argentinean province of Río Negro. First of all, we’ll have an introduction and get ready for our ski touring adventure.

The volcanoes included in this program belong to the Andes and are located in the border area between Chile and Argentina. Our first goal will be Tronador, a stratovolcano at an altitude of 3,554 meters. Our next stop will be Osorno that reaches 2,652 meters above sea level. Then, we’ll go to Villarrica Volcano (2,847 meters) and, lastly, we’ll reach the Lanin Volcano (3,776 meters).

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!
