Climbing the Osorno Volcano (2,656m), Overnight and sunrise ascent from the Teski Hut, near Puerto Varas

You need to have your clothing, accessories (like gloves, sunglasses, daypack, etc.), and mountain boots. We include helmets, harnesses, crampons, and ice axe, so if you don´t have yours, do not worry about it!

In Teski Lodge you will have a shared bunkbed without bedsheets. Depending on the availability of the lodge, or per request (additional cost) we request a private room. In the lodge, we will have a two-course dinner and breakfast before we begin the climbing.

If there is not a good weather forecast for the climbing day, it may not be worth the risk to attempt the summit and we may look for alternatives or cancel the trip. For the Osorno climb, we need good visibility in the glacier area.

1 guide per max. two clients.

Winter and spring. No doubts. The normal climbing season in Osorno is from July until the middle of January. In late summer and autumn, the conditions in the upper part of the glacier are often not good enough for a safe climb.

While most of our programs are small groups and it's almost always just the group you've booked together, our regular programs are shared services, so it may be that you will share the program with other climbers.

The regular pickup is at 7 pm from Puerto Varas.

The trekking boots can be used with crampons, so they may be suitable for the program if

1. The boots are waterproof: to keep feet dry and avoid cold injuries.

2. They are high enough to cover the ankle: for extra support on rough terrain.

3. They have a stiff sole and the rubber of the whole sole is not too soft: to avoid any movement of the crampon towards the front and/or rear of the boots. Since the day will not be on flat terrain, if the rubber on the boots is soft, the crampon will move and often get out of position.

However, we will always need to check them before the trip, you can send us a photo of them so we can have a general idea of your footwear and if they are needed, we can pack some spare mountain boots for you to have with us.

The refuge will provide dinner (soup, main course and dessert) and breakfast (yogurt, bread, jam, cheese, ham, tea, coffee, milk).

The regular program includes accommodation in bunk beds (usually 2 persons per room, subject to availability). The bunk beds include wool blankets, but no sheets (available at extra cost), so you will need a sleeping bag or liner.

There are also shared showers and bathrooms (hot water), as well as rooms with private toilets available upon request. It also has parking, electricity, internet, bar, and a restaurant.
