1-day guided Ski Mountaineering tour in Cerro Vespignani

This 1-day guided Ski Mountaineering tour in Cerro Vespignani will take you on an adventure full of amazing  highlights!

Mount Vespignani (2146 m) is located 40 km north of El Chaltén, in the southern Argentinean province of Santa Cruz. It’s one of the many peaks that make this region the hiking capital of the country. During winter it becomes an incredible place for backcountry snowboarding!

So, using our splitboards -or alpine touring skis- we’ll climb across the Huemul Glacier all the way up to Mount Vespignani  summit, from where we’ll appreciate one of the most spectacular views of Patagonia: Mount Fitz Roy surrounded by the huge Patagonian Ice Field.

This alone would make a great trip, but there’s more! After enjoying the scenery we’ll ride down through pristine and untouched powder. There are few tourists who come down to El Chaltén in winter, so we’ll have the entire mountain to ourselves!

The program starts with a wonderful drive to our starting point in the southern headland of the Desert Lake. From here we’ll hike to the glacier, where we’ll skin up and continue to the summit and then ride down!

Sounds like an amazing adventure? It is! Send me a request now and we’ll start planning your visit to this amazing spot in southern Patagonia. You’ll spend an unforgettable weekend!
