Cerro Castillo

Date:
28.11.2017
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:43h
Distance:
13.6km

My favourite hike in Patagonia! We began our hike after driving to the town of Cerro Castillo in Patagonia. We drove north out of town, took a turn to the left and followed a bridge over a river until we came to a parking place. We had to pay 10,000pesos each (ca. 150kr) to walk for 45 minutes across a private property. The trail was clearly marked, and the whole day we saw only 4 other people. The trail was quite sandy, but very easy to walk on with no stones. After about an hour we had climbed a decent amount of elevation and came to some snow patches. We walked up over these and had climbed 1000m in elevation after just under 2 hours, where we were greeted with an amazing view of Cerro Castillo and a lake that was still half frozen. Paal walked around the edge of the lake to a the edge of >>>

Las Torres del Paine

Date:
17.11.2017
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
21.0km

Hiking to the Mirador las Torres from Hotel las Torres in Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia. The hike was simple - a wide, easy to walk path with a million people on it.... uglefisk (Paal Andre Lund) gikk hele turen med å si 'jævla 17. mai tog!'. We walked pretty steadily, gaining and losing elevation for the first 9km or up until around 570moh. From there it was a nice, steep push up to the viewpoint of Mirrador Las Torres, we welcomed the raise in heart rate after a few hours of meandering along the river! A nice experience, but sadly we were pretty let down as our expectations of hiking here were really high. Way too many people and tourists and a lot of rubbish everywhere. We had planned to do the 10-day O-circuit but changed our plans because of this hike and left the park after only 1 day. Would have been >>>

Refugio Frey

Date:
11.11.2017
Duration:
5:30h
Distance:
9.8km

This hike was stunning! We began by camping at Lago Gutierrez and following the signs along a nice path through the forrest. The first 5km were pretty flat and we didn't start gaining elevation until we had been walking for 1 hour or so. A really hot day, so we were glad wherever there was tree shelter, though the trail became sandy as we started gaining elevation and I could feel my pasty skin starting to burn to a crisp! The views got more and more impressive as we looked out over a beautiful lake and soon we hit snow, which was fun and a new experience for me to walk in. Paal had a good laugh at how many times I fell over! Soon we could see Refugio Frey and the beautiful, spiky tops of Cerro Catedral - Paal was really hanging out for his skiis! Pretty late in the season but still lots of >>>
