Patagonia

As nature recovers from the winter months, you’ll see vivid landscapes with blooms and green buds. Beware of closed trails due to snow early to mid-October.

Spring

In the hiker paradise, summer features open trails and enjoyable weather to take in the stunning views. January is the busiest and most expensive month.

Summer

The stunning contrast of snowy peaks with bright reds and yellows makes fall a photographer’s paradise. It is also less windy. Most hotels close at the end of April.

Fall

Winter provides unique and fascinating views over the frosted steppes and mountains of Patagonia, but most of the hikes are inaccessible, making it a dead season in both El Chalten and Torres Del Paine.

Majestic Land of The Big Feet

Patagonia – Majestic Land of The Big Feet

Refugio Grey is a charming mountain refuge nestled near the stunning Grey Glacier. It provides a unique and remote experience with comfortable dormitory-style rooms or a campsite.

The refuge features a cozy dining area where you can enjoy delicious meals while taking in panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. It's a perfect place to share stories with fellow travelers and soak in the unique atmosphere of Patagonia.

One of the main highlights of staying at Refugio Grey is its proximity to the majestic Grey Glacier. You can embark on guided glacier hikes or boat tours to witness the mesmerizing blue ice formations up close. The surrounding area also offers opportunities for hiking, bird watching, and wildlife spotting, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts.

Our favorite activity in the area besides the W-trek itself is kayaking next to the Gery Glacier and its icebergs (check the list of region highlights for more details). It is a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, just steps away from the refugio.
