4 REFUGIOS
hut-to-hut alpine ridge traverse

A multi days trek to see everything

The "4 Refugios” in Bariloche weaves together the most iconicrefuges, summits, lagoons, valleys, and ridges of the region. Merely hearing the names of these places evokes the rich tapestry of Bariloche's mountain history, inviting you on a journey through its breathtaking landscapes and storied past.

The trek goes through Refugio Frey next to Laguna Toncek, Refugio San Martin next to Laguna Jakob, Refugio Manfredo next to Laguna Negra, and finally to Refugio Lopez in Cerro Lopez.

The entire traverse takes 4 to 5 days depending on weather, condition and fitness. Every night is spent in a hut, that will provide a bed, delicious food and beautiful views.

There are various alpine passes to go through, each of them has a unique feel. To do the trek, our clients must have experience in multi day trekking and hiking in the alpine. From Refugio San Martin to Refugio Manfredo is the most intense day (days 3 or 4), it require easy scrambling and crossing nevés, an adventure in itself that reward you with a welcoming cup of wine in the hut. If the group prefer there is an alternative to avoid that part of the traverse and do a more mellow option.
