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.

350 meters of elevation gain
800 meters of turns back home

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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!

Maxine

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.
