Description
During this 3-day ski tour you will get the feeling that the Frey Valley is your backyard.
Skiing in Frey is incomparable. We will gain most of our elevation with the help of the ski lifts of the Catedral ski area. After warming up on some nice off-piste terrain, we’ll put our skis on and our packs and traverse a scenic ridge line to our descent point into the Van Titter Valley. There will be our first untracked lines with some slopes of approximately 30º to 35º.
We will rest and spend the night in the warm and cozy Frey Hut, equipped with beds and full food service.
Although this trip can be made in July and August, I strongly recommend September as the best month. Springtime is by far the best time to enjoy a perfect backcountry ski program in Patagonia.
In addition, you can choose to spend more days ski touring in the area. Therefore, I also offer a 4-or-5-day adventure in order to explore other valleys and new backcountry terrain. Let me also recommend this 7-day program in which we will cross the Andes from Argentina to Chile.
So, are you planning to come to this region? This is a program you cannot miss! Contact me now and book your place. I have no doubt it will be a really unforgettable experience!

Itinerary
Day 1: Catedral ski area - Frey Hut
From the Catedral ski area we will enjoy amazing panoramic views of the entire valley. Then, we will cross a ridge line to find our first descent into the untracked Patagonian terrain. We’ll arrive at Frey hut so we can find the best lines with lighter backpacks. Finally a hot dinner, a good beer and go to bed for tomorrow’s plan.
500 meters of elevation gain
900 meters of descent in the Patagonian Andes!
Day 2: Skiing day on Frey's terrain
After having breakfast we will check the equipment and set off. Frey’s terrain is quite varied. There are infinite options with different orientations, from wide open faces to nice couloirs, all surrounded by granite towers. The premise is to enjoy 8 hours out there skiing down 1,000 meters of bliss on virgin slopes. Dinner in the hut, a good red wine and go to bed. Tomorrow we must head back to town.
1,000 meters of elevation gain
Approximately 1,000 meters in ski mode.
Day 3: Return to Bariloche
We’ll repeat the ritual: toasts and mates for breakfast, pack our backpacks and depart. Return to Bariloche having gained lots of vertical feet, experience and happiness.
