Laguna Torre (Cerro Torre)

One of the most frequented day hikes from El Chaltén, the route to Laguna Torre leads to a glacial lake at the base of the Torre massif. The 18 km out-and-back trail follows the Fitz Roy River valley, moving through sub-antarctic forests of ñire and lenga. The terrain is primarily well-maintained gravel paths and packed dirt, with a short initial ascent followed by mostly level walking through the glacial valley. The destination offers direct views of Cerro Torre (3,128m) and the Adela range, with icebergs frequently calving from the Torre Glacier into the lake.

The Selvaggio Blu ('Wild Blue') is a multi-day technical expedition within the Golfo di Orosei, Baunei region of Sardinia. It is defined by its vertical coastal topography, utilizing ancient juniper ladders (scale 'e fustes'), non-standard navigation across minimal signage, and often required vertical abseils (rappelling) of up to 45 meters. The circuit threads through the Supramonte coastal strip, remaining isolated from road infrastructure and requiring bivouacking on remote beaches. It represents the most demanding coastal traverse in Italy due to the absence of natural surface water and the complexity of the Mediterranean karst terrain.
