Towering 1,450 meters (4,757 feet) above sea level, Mount Alvear is the third highest peak on the Isla Grande of Tierra del Fuego and makes for quite the mountain climbing experience!
From the summit, we will enjoy phenomenal views out over the surrounding Andean peaks, glaciers, Fueguino forests and over Laguna Esmeralda!
Our adventure begins in Ushuaia at 7 am on the day of the climb. After meeting up at your accommodation, we will transfer to the trailhead and begin the approach at 7:30.
As we go, we will pass through a peat bog, the native Fueguino forest and past several mountain lagoons.
By about noon, we will have reached the summit, from which we will enjoy panoramic views out over our surroundings, including the nearby Cerro Alvear, Sierra de Alvear and Cerro Castor.
After about half an hour at the summit, we will begin our descent. Once we are at the base of the mountain, we will eat our lunch, before returning to the trailhead and transferring back to Ushuaia.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this fun, scenic and exciting 1-day ascent of Mount Alvear on the stunning Isla Grande of Tierra del Fuego!

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.
