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.

Standing at 3,404 meters, Pico Aneto is the highest peak in the Pyrenees and the third-highest in Spain. Located in the Maladeta Massif within the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park, it is a legendary destination for mountaineers. The ascent is a strenuous high-altitude undertaking that transitions from the lush valleys of Benasque to a stark, lunar landscape of granite and perennial ice. The route is defined by two iconic challenges: the crossing of the Aneto Glacier—the largest remaining glacier in the Pyrenees—and the crossing of the 'Paso de Mahoma' (Mohammed's Bridge), a narrow, exposed rocky ridge leading to the summit cross.
