Huemul Circuit

Considered a premier multi-day trekking route in Los Glaciares National Park, the Huemul Circuit provides a circumnavigation of Cerro Huemul near El Chaltén. The route crosses two significant passes—Paso del Viento and Paso Huemul—offering direct panoramas of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. Terrain varies from forested valley floors and river crossings to exposed glacial moraines and high-altitude scree slopes. The circuit is defined by its remoteness and the requirement for technical river crossing skills using fixed steel cables.

Scaling Kebnekaise, the highest mountain in Sweden, is a rite of passage for Swedish hikers. The mountain features two main peaks, but the glaciated South Summit (Sydtoppen, roughly 2,090m depending on glacial melt) is the primary target. There are two ways up: the Eastern Route is a technical glacier crossing requiring ropes, harnesses, and a guide. The Western Route (Västra Leden) is the 'tourist route'—a grueling, 11-mile (18km) round-trip physical endurance test that requires no technical gear. Starting from the Kebnekaise Mountain Station, hikers navigate boulder fields, cross sustained streams, summit an entirely separate mountain (Vierranvárri), drop down into a valley, and then claw their way up the final steep, rocky, often snow-covered face to reach the crown of Sweden.
