Climb Cerro Solo and Gorra Blanca in 11 days, El Chalten

Located in the southern Argentinian province of Santa Cruz, Los Glaciares National Park is a spectacular glacial landscape of jaw dropping impact.

One of the most remote places on earth, Los Glaciares is the largest park in Argentina and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This world of ice and rock spans 7,269 km2 and hosts sub polar forest, Patagonian steppe, glaciers, mountains and more; meaning you’re heading to the heart of nature.

Cerro Solo and Gorra Blanca are the iconic mountaineering expeditions offered by the Fitz Roy Range. They are not overly technical whilst involving scrambling, traversing glacial crevasses and elevated snow and ice slopes.

We will meet at Calafate airport and then head to the charming town of El Chalten, on route we will have a chance to see the local wildlife including guanacos (lama family), choiques (like a small Ostrich) and condors.

From El Chalten we will already have views of the impressive Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre ranges. We will have dinner in town and prepare for the next day.

We will tackle Cerro Solo first via the Fitz Roy River and the views from this summit over the Cerro Torre range are spectacular.

Next up will be Cerro Gorra Blanca that is situated within the Continental Ice Cap, on the border with Chile, this climb is less demanding but no less rewarding with its stunning views over the ice cap landscape.
