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.

Scoresby Sund (Kangertittivaq) is not a single trail, but the world's largest fjord system—a sprawling 350km-deep maze of ice and rock in East Greenland. Exploration here is ship-based, where expedition vessels serve as mobile base camps. Each day, Zodiacs ferry you to remote shorelines like the red sandstone slopes of Røde Ø or the high ridges of Milne Land. Unlike West Greenland, there are no marked paths; you'll be walking over ancient, spongey tundra and sharp basalt scree, always accompanied by guides with polar bear deterrents. It is an experience of immense scale, where skyscraper-sized icebergs ground themselves in the deep fjords while muskoxen forage in the silent valleys.
