Description

There are an abundance of beautiful Chilean volcanoes to explore and enjoy throughout the Patagonia region of the country.

On this week long adventure, I would like to guide you on a splitboarding tour on several of those wonderful Chilean volcanoes. This trip begins in the lovely town of Pucon. Once there, we will spend the day practicing splitboarding techniques and avalanche safety techniques along with an equipment check in the Villarrica ski resort area.

For the following five days we will ascend to the summits of four different Chilean volcanoes. Those volcanoes include Villarrica (2,840m), Lounquimay (2,890m), Llaima (3,125m) and Copahue (2,297m). For each volcano, you will get a unique splitboarding experience. The views you will get on the way up, and particularly from the summits, are stunning. And when it comes to the descents, they are absolutely thrilling.

Along with the joy of the volcanoes, you will get to visit several wonderful places during this trip. In addition to Pucon, you will get to visit, explore and spend the night in Caviahue and Curacautin/Malacahuelo. Hence giving you an opportunity to really immerse yourself in this glorious region of Chile.

This trip is very physically demanding. As a result, participants should be in excellent physical condition.

For a full week, my goal is to give you the kind of splitboarding experience that you will never forget. And I have no doubt that this adventure will achieve that goal. So send me a request, and let the fun begin!

I also offer a 6 day ski touring trip that will take you from the famous Frey hut to the Jacob hut in Argentinean Patagonia.

Mountain Guide

Mountain Guide - EPGAMT - Argentina
I was born in Patagonia, Argentina and formed at an early age as a climber in the Nahuel Huapi National Park. Currently I completed a large number of rock and ice climbing routes, backcountry skiing and ascents in many mountains around the world such as Mt. Lhotse (8.516 mts.), the 4th highest peak in the world, without using supplemental oxygen (May, 2012).
I'm a certified Mountain Guide from the EPGAMT and a member of the Argentinian Mountain Guides Association (AAGM) and work on Mt. Aconcagua, which I had repeatedly ascended, as well as in other peaks in the Central Andes, Patagonia, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and in The Himalayas in Nepal.
During the winter season, I practice backcountry skiing, mostly on the volcanoes in Patagonia, where I can offer you different adventures, according to your level (beginner, learner or advanced learner).
I feel very privileged to work as a mountain guide, to do the job that I love, and to be able to share it with people that have the same passion.
Join my expeditions and I will provide you a high standard of safety and personal attention!

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.
