Cerro Tronador (Refugio Otto Meiling)

This two-day Patagonia hike leads to Refugio Otto Meiling on the slopes of Cerro Tronador, one of the most prominent peaks in the Bariloche region. The route climbs through coihue and lenga forests before emerging onto a high rocky ridge that culminates at the refuge (1,905m). Positioned between the Castaño Overa and Alerce glaciers, the stay offers a unique opportunity to witness active glacial calving. The trail follows a well-defined path of forest floor and alpine rock, with a final sustained push to reach the rocky spine where the hut perches.

The Chomolhari Trek is a 7–9 day high-altitude route through the Jigme Dorji National Park, Bhutan. The trail traverses from Drugyel Dzong toward the base of Mount Jomolhari (7,326m), a sacred peak for the Bhutanese people. The route reaches high points at the Nyele La pass (4,700m) and potentially the Bongte La (~4,890m) depending on the variant. It is characterized by sustained exposure above 3,500 meters, passing through sub-alpine forests and high glacial basins where seasonal yak herders maintain their summer camps.
