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 Pembrokeshire Coast Path is a spectacular 186-mile (299km) National Trail that twists and turns entirely within Britain's only predominantly coastal National Park. Starting at Amroth in the south and finishing on the banks of the River Teifi at St Dogmaels in the north, the path explores every cove, jagged headland, and sweeping golden beach of the Welsh peninsula. While it never reaches mountain altitudes, the constant, strenuous undulations along the cliff edges mean walkers effectively climb the equivalent height of Mount Everest over the course of the journey. It is a stunning, windswept masterclass in marine biology, geology, and physical endurance.
