WINTER W TREK IN TORRES DEL PAINE

Your private transfer will pick you up from your hotel in Puerto Natales and take you to the start of our hike to the base of the Three Towers. We will begin ascending this moraine full of rocks and be rewarded with the stunning view of the three Towers. Once at the viewpoint, 900 meters above sea level, you can rest, take photos, and have lunch. Afterwards, we will descend along the same path to Estancia Las Torres, where we will take the transfer to our accommodation: Hotel Lago Grey.

We will pick you up at Hotel Lago Grey in the morning to begin your hike from the administrative area of Torres del Paine National Park. It will be six hours on the Las Carretas trail to the shores of Lake Pehoe, nestled at the base of the Paine Massif. The Grey River will accompany us along the way, and we will have a picnic lunch before returning to our refuge for the night: Paine Grande

Today we’ll venture deep into the heart of the Paine Massif to discover the stunning French Valley, a natural basin surrounded by sharp granite spires, hanging glaciers, and pristine wilderness.

After a hearty breakfast, we begin our hike with a 2-hour walk through lenga forests and notro shrubs, until we reach the hanging bridge over the French River.

At the entrance of the valley, we’ll climb over large boulders to catch our first glimpse of the hanging glacier high above. From there, we continue ascending for about an hour through a dreamlike landscape, like a Japanese garden, until we reach La Plateau Viewpoint.

Surrounded by towering peaks and wide-open skies, we’ll enjoy lunch in this breathtaking natural amphitheater before heading back to our mountain lodge to rest.

We start early with a steady 200-meter climb along a winding trail to the magical Laguna Los Patos, where you’ll enjoy views of the vast Southern Ice Field, home to many still-unexplored peaks.

We then continue toward the Grey Glacier Viewpoint, crossing forests and rivers, with chances to spot steamer ducks in their natural habitat. We’ll stop for lunch facing the glacier’s monumental ice wall — and with a bit of luck, witness ice calving into the cold waters below.

We’ll continue hiking to Refugio Grey, where we’ll spend this evening.

Our final day begins with a free morning to enjoy the surroundings at your own pace. You can take a walk nearby, capture some photos, or simply soak in the peaceful landscape. Weather permitting, you’ll have the option to hike to the Grey Glacier Hanging Bridges.

Before lunch, we board a boat for a scenic cruise across Grey Lake toward the impressive face of the glacier. We’ll have time to admire its textures, lines, and blue hues. On the way back, we’ll see the famous “ice mushrooms” shaped by the wind atop the Paine Grande peaks, as we navigate among icebergs of all sizes.

Back on solid ground, we’ll walk about 20 minutes along Grey Beach to meet our transfer, which will take us back to Puerto Natales, where our adventure concludes.
