Description

There really isn’t anything quite like ski touring in Patagonia. And, during this incredible 11-day adventure, that is exactly what you will get to do, with a focus on the Cerro Castillo in Chile, in the Aysen Region.

Our adventure will begin after your arrival in the Balmaceda airport. From there we will go to the town of Coyhaique. After that, we will go to the Villa Cerro Castillo, where we will spend the night. On the following day, our first ski touring adventure will take place at the Portozuelo Ibanez. After that, and for the next 3 days, we will be ski touring on the gorgeous Cerro Castillo.

On the sixth day, we will venture to a new area: Puerto Guadal, where we will spend the night. For the following 3 days, we will be ski touring around the Santa Theresa Valley, which is full of great slopes and views.

On the tenth day of the trip we will return to Coyhaique, where we will enjoy a delicious barbecue and the day after that, we will transfer you to the Balmaceda Airport, where you can catch your flight home.

This trip is for experienced skiers, who can ski tour at a minimum intermediate level. You should also be in good physical condition.

Patagonia is an incredible place to ski tour. That is why I have no doubt you’ll love this trip. To join me, please send a request.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
