If you aren’t looking for the comfort of lifting facilities, you’re tired of skiing in slopes all the time and you want to have a unique experience we invite you to join our walks. We will do ascents that will allow you to discover breathless sceneries and descents that will stay in your memory for ever.

This volcano is located in the Argentinean Patagonia, at the north of Neuquén province. It is 3776 meters above sea level, and is surrounded by lakes, woods and volcanic tapping, so an amazing scenery and ascent is guaranteed.

In order to get to this mountain, we have to start the journey from San Martín de los Andes. The expedition takes 3 or 4 days, during which we will make the ascent to the top and an unforgettable descent, as well as a trip to the glaciers that are located in the Southern Wall.

The technical equipment is necessary because there are complex spots. However, with our expert mountain guides and our preventive measures, we will accomplish a perfect stay.

Tronador Mountain, situated at 3,491 meters above sea level, is one of the highest referrals of Patagonia. It’s located in the center of the most striking landscape of the area, surrounded by huge lakes and many woods, what produces a visual effect that’s worth experiencing. Its name means “roarer”, and it was chosen due to the sound the falling of the glacier’s enormous ice blocks and snow produces from the heights. This mountain is 48 miles away from San Carlos de Bariloche city, and the access difficulty is intermediate. We offer you the possibility of ascending an incredible as well as complicated spot. A technical training has to be done before the ascent, since safety measures is as important as knowledge. The land is full of cracks and climbing is down over ice and snow. Once we reach the peak, get ready to enjoy an unbelievable descent.

Maipo volcano, , located at 5,323 meters above sea level, belongs to the frontal mountain range at the south of Mendoza’s capital. At the base, there’s a spectacular lake surrounded by the most beautiful solitude mountains.

To access this spot is a little bit more complicated, so in order to get there we have to do a long trip on a 4x4 vehicle. Normally, the season to visit the Maipo starts on late November, but as we crave to ski and touch a lot of snow, we start earlier. As well as for other high mountains, technical equipment is essential (ice axes, crampons, harness, rando skis, etc.). The ascent takes from 4 to 5 days.

This mountain is located at the foot of the well known ski resort, Las Leñas, 50 miles away from Malargue. With an altitude of 4.351 meters above sea level, it offers a breathtaking view of the Chilean side, San Rafaelina plateau and the north of Neuquen.
The crossing begins in Las Leñas valley, then we ascent to the summits top, and finishes with a downhill skiing to Los Molles valley in a continuous descent of 2.500 meters of fabulous snow.

Cordón del Plata, a mountain chain that’s part of Mendoza’s frontal mountain range, is situated between the latter and the foothills. Visible from the surroundings of Mendoza’s capital, its height 6.100 meters creates an incredible elevation over the rest of the peaks around it.
During 6 days of trips and ascents, you will know extraordinary landscapes, live trough a continue improvement experience, and as it couldn’t be in any other way, ski back to our base camp through the best virgin hillsides of the Andes.
We want to give you the possibility of having access to these mountains and getting to the top so you can go downhill skiing. The climbing takes from 6 to 7 days. We have equipments, in case that you need them, and guides specialized in mountains and skiing (or free ride or backcountry). Preferably, this excursion should be done from late September onwards. During that period, you’re able to ski without having to carry rando in your backpack up to high-mountain, since in the middle of November the snow starts to melt.
Technical equipment is necessary since mountain conditions are very different and, even if we take all the possible precautions, it’s always reasonable to go well-equipped. If you don’t have ice axe, crampons, randonnee skis, etc., we will provide them for you.

We offer you this unique experience (most of Patagonia’s tourist know little about it) so you can do something truly original: linking the peaks of many volcanoes in Argentina and Chile.
As we know that during a trip one doesn’t have all the time one wishes, this product is organized to make possible many ascents in a short time. The climbing of mountains or volcanoes is quick and you can enjoy more of the snow in many types of slopes and conditions.
The program consists in linking the peaks of different volcanoes during 6 days of expeditions and ascents, after what you will be able to ski back to our base camp.
