Mount Fitz Roy (Cerro Fitz Roy)

The trek to Laguna de los Tres is one of the primary day activities in Los Glaciares National Park, providing a close-perspective view of the granite massif of Mount Fitz Roy (3,405m). The route follows an out-and-back trail through mixed forest and glaciated valleys, passing the Piedras Blancas viewpoint before the final ascent. The journey is defined by a significant transition from the low-lying valley floor to the high-alpine environment of the lagoon, which sits directly below the main peaks.

Pen y Fan is the highest peak in South Wales (886m) and the crown jewel of the Brecon Beacons National Park. While thousands stream up the 'tourist path' from the Storey Arms every day, the true mountaineer's route is the Beacons Horseshoe starting from the Neuadd Reservoir. This challenging 10-mile (16km) circular route climbs steeply onto the Craig Fan Ddu ridge, walks the long, grassy skyline over four peaks—including the 'diving board' rock at Fan y Big, Cribyn, Pen y Fan itself, and Corn Du—before descending back to the valley. It provides magnificent 360-degree views over the sheer, glaciated northern faces of the peaks down into the emerald Welsh valleys.
