BEFORE YOU GO

Plan your Laguna Torre Hike visit

Choose the outing and its approach together

The source time is an activity allowance, not a current departure or a door-to-door promise. Confirm admission, transfer and equipment inclusions for your date.

Make the day workable

Use only open trails and plan to be back in town before dark. A full walk is a separate mountain day from Laguna de los Tres. [5]

Confirm your starting point

Use the location and exact operator meeting point when planning the approach. A place in the same curation group can be well outside the town or road corridor.

More from Fyno’s curation

Laguna Torre is the second most popular hike in the area, but still an overall must-do. It is 11-mile long out and back trail from El Chalten, but not physically demanding with just 500 ft of elevation gain.

Some parts of the trail are windy or slippery, so be ready with appropriate gear. Check the the links section for more details on AllTrails.
