This Southern Patagonian Ice Field expedition from El Chalten will take you to an unknown world of ice and snow.
The Southern Patagonian Ice Field is the biggest remnant of the Patagonian Ice Sheet, located south of the Andes, between Argentina and Chile. It's the world's second-largest contiguous extra polar Ice Field.
And on this program we will explore the area in search of the best ski slopes. We'll start from El Chalten, a beautiful small town, located at the foot of Mount Fitz Roy, on the Argentinian side of Patagonia.
If you're a freeride lover, this itinerary has to be on your favorites list. Very early, from the month of April, we can enjoy powder conditions in the Southern Hemisphere, until the arrival of summer when the spring snow awaits us for fantastic descents on glaciers.
As an expert in the area, we have the best proposals taking into account snow conditions and avalanche risks, so that you can enjoy unique experiences safely.
So join me on this incredible Southern Patagonian Ice Field expedition from El Chalten and discover an incredible Ice World at the end of the world. It’s an experience you will never forget!

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.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
