Description

Near Bariloche, in the incomparable region of Patagonia, Argentina, there are a number of great peaks that you can ski tour on. These peaks provide fantastic descends that I would be happy to guide you on. And on this full day trip, I would like to take you to the top of the Cerro Lopez (2.075m).

The Cerro Lopez is located in the western area of the natural park near Bariloche. It is a wonderful peak that looks stunning amidst the backdrop of the famed Patagonian wilderness.

The trip will begin as we make our way up the peak through slopes and forest until we reach the Lopez refuge. At the refuge, we will stop and take a break. During that time, you can enjoy some marvelous views. After the break, we will continue our ascent to the summit of the mountain. And after you’ve enjoyed even more great views from the summit, you will get to ski down on the ample slopes back to the base of the mountain. Hence concluding the day long adventure.

While this trip is about having a great time ski touring and enjoying some great views, I will also spend time teaching you as well. I will go over important things like mountain safety and proper skiing techniques.

So if you want to climb to the top of and ski down the wonderful Cerro Lopez near Bariloche, just send me a request. I look forward to showing you why the peaks of Patagonia are so renowned.

I can also take you ski touring on the Cerro Catedral as well.

I booked a tour to go hiking months in advance. I confirmed with the guide weeks in advance. When I arrived in Bariloche, I reached out to the guide and she let me know she had the wrong date of. I was never able to go hiking with her. I was able to do all the hiking on my own anyway so it was not a big deal. Probably would not use the company again. I only got annoyed because it did take several days to confirm that I would receive a refund. They did refund the payment.
