Top El Chaltén Nature Walks in 2026

We are climbing experts in the area since 2009. Experience an outdoor bouldering day on the amazing granite boulders around El Chalten with local and experienced climbers.

Prepare to be awed by one of the most memorable vistas of the Los Glaciares National Park on this full-day small-group hike from El Chaltén. Lace up your hiking boots and set out on an 8-mile (12km), 8-hour hike across the rugged Fitz Roy Valley. Enjoy the magnificent panoramic views, but save space on your camera for the grand finale – the majestic glacial lake of Laguna de los Tres, set against a dramatic backdrop of Mount Fitz Roy.

A fantastic trek to access a 360° viewpoint, through a picturesque, little-traveled trail in the national park. Accompanied by a mountain guide, you will appreciate the valleys of Cerro Fitz Roy and Torre, the Patagonian steppe and the vast Lake Viedma. An unforgettable Patagonian postcard view! If you’re a hiking lover, you don’t want to miss this dream of a destination; this is your tour! No steep climbing is involved, and no previous experience is required!

Hike to Laguna de los Tres with a local mountain team that has been exploring and guiding in Patagonia for more than 30 years. Fitz Roy Expediciones was founded in El Chaltén in 1995, when this was still a remote mountain village at the edge of Los Glaciares National Park. This is more than reaching the famous Fitz Roy viewpoint. You’ll experience the trail with professional local mountain guides who know this landscape, its weather and its stories intimately. We keep our groups small, allowing for a more personal experience and a genuine mountain pace rather than a rushed sightseeing tour. Walk through native Patagonian forest, alongside rivers and mountain lakes, before taking on the final ascent to Laguna de los Tres and one of the most extraordinary views in Patagonia: Mount Fitz Roy rising directly above the glacial landscape.

Really get an alpine experience crossing the wide Electric River Valley. Explore the successive frontal moraines of ancient glaciers and relive the history of modeling these unique landscapes. Enjoy the peace and silence of a journey away from the masses. Take in one of the closest views of the north face of the massif.
