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.

A quintessential Swiss alpine experience that pairs a shimmering turquoise glacial lake with high-altitude technical ridges. The trail begins at the Oeschinensee cable car station, initially circling the amphitheatre of cliffs that cradle the lake, before an aggressive ascent toward the Blüemlisalphütte. As you gain altitude, the 'lake-and-meadow' scenery transitions into a stark landscape of limestone and glacial moraine. The hut itself is perched on the ridge between the Kander and Kien valleys, offering a front-row seat to the hanging glaciers of the Blüemlisalp massif.
