Looking for a memorable winter trekking experience in the mountains? This is one of the top day hikes in San Carlos de Bariloche!
We'll begin our adventure from the iconic Circuito Chico area, hiking through a lush forest of native coihue trees. As we gain elevation, the scenery becomes increasingly mesmerizing with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and lakes.
Our destination is the cozy Refugio López, where we'll take a well-earned break, warm up, and enjoy the spectacular alpine setting before beginning our descent back to the trailhead the same day.
Depending on conditions, we'll assess the need for snowshoes, crampons, or winter boots to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey during the winter and spring seasons.
Join us for a magical snowy adventure in Patagonia!
Meeting point
We'll hike 5 km uphill along a fairly steep trail, gaining approximately 550 meters in elevation until we reach Refugio López. Here, we'll take a break to rest, enjoy the stunning mountain scenery, and have time to eat or drink something before beginning our return.
After the break, we'll descend along the same trail back to the vehicles, completing one of Bariloche's most rewarding winter day hikes.

Beautiful experience! Even before starting the trek: Sole’s suggestions based on the weather conditions; during the trek: lots of empathy and patience with the group members’ limitations, encouragement and good vibes; afterwards, at the López hut, we shared lovely moments with delicious food and a wood-burning stove! Thank you! 🫶🏽
