The Emilio Frey hut is located at the foot of the Frey Needle, surrounded by incredible towers and rocky spires on the banks of the Toncek Lagoon. Undoubtedly, it is one of the most picturesque refuges in Patagonia.
This full day trek I offer consists in a hiking adventure departing from the base of Cerro Catedral, Bariloche. After ascending with the chair lift up to the ridge of this mountain we’ll start the hike. We’ll border the west side of the massif. At this point we’ll be able to admire the famous Mount Tronador and all the Rucaco Valley.
After that, we must descend to the Schmoll Lagoon by a rocky terrain. Finally, we will reach the Toncek Lagoon, where the Frey Hut is. The total hike from the ski lift station to the refuge will take 4 hours.
After a deserved lunch and rest in the hut, we’ll return by the normal route to Villa Catedral. The way down is a little shorter and it will take about 3 hours.
If you want to join me on this trip please remember to bring the proper equipment. Trekking shoes, warm jacket and clothing, sunglasses, hat, gloves, sunscreen and water.

I’m a Physical Education Teacher, Ski Patroller and AAGM- UIMLA Mountain Guide. I was born in S. C. de Bariloche (Patagonia). I started “to play in the mountains” in early age, skiing and exploring trekking trails and the most emblematic shelters around Bariloche.
After graduating I began working in environmental education with children and adults in the Club Andino Bariloche and in an educational NGO dedicated to tourism in natural environments. I worked several years in Europe as a ski patroller, and currently work as a teacher in the Argentinian Ski Patrollers School (EASP). I also worked as avalanche consultor in companies.
I have various certifications, among them: WFR (Wilderness First Responder), Lifeguard Equipie (Andorran Red Cross) and Observer Nivo- Meteo (ACNA "per the Association of neu coneixement I allaus them") and the AIARE Level II (Analyzing snow stability and avalanche Hazard course).
Last years, I’ve been working between ski stations and guiding in big and amazing mountains in Patagonia, Alaska, Bolivia and Peru. I’m a professional outdoor woman and mountain lover who appreciate the opportunity of guide new clients in the surroundings of my home: “Bariloche, in North Patagonia”.

A tough but thoroughly rewarding hike. The challenges of the trek are matched by the stunning views, unique flora, and wonderful people you meet along the way.
