Ascent to Lanin Volcano, 3776m

Andes

2 Days

Jan - May, Sep - Dec

Description

Con sus 3776 mts de altura, el volcán Lanín es la cumbre más alta de la región y da nombre al Parque Nacional en el que se halla enclavado.
El ascenso comienza en la seccional Río Turbio de Guardaparques, en la base del volcán, a unos 1100 mts de altura. La ruta conocida como “normal”, es la que nos llevará por la cara norte del cerro, recorriendo parte de la “espina de pescado”, una formación rocosa de residuos glaciarios; para luego desviar por el “camino de mulas” que abandonaremos al llegar al refugio que el Guardaparque nos haya designado.
Nos encontramos cerca de los 2500 mts de altura, dependiendo del refugio, y allí disfrutaremos de un merecido descanso luego de 5 o 6 horas (aprox) de marcha. En esta primera etapa no es raro observar la presencia de una familia de cóndores que suele sobrevolar la zona.
Nuestra segunda jornada comienza temprano, antes de la salida del sol, de modo de aprovechar la dureza de la nieve, la menor exposición a los rayos solares y las disposiciones de Parques Nacionales. Esta etapa, que puede durar entre 5 y 8 horas (aprox) nos llevará, si se dan todas las condiciones, hasta la cumbre del volcán, a 3776 mts de altura. Desde allí podremos apreciar en toda su magnificencia la belleza de la vista de los cordones montañosos vecinos y los distintos espejos de agua.
El descenso transcurre por la misma ruta de ascenso y, previa parada en el refugio para descansar y recuperar energías, culminará en la base del volcán luego de una jornada larga y plena de satisfacciones que siempre será recordada.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
