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.

Scafell Pike is the highest peak in England at 978m (3,209ft). The route from Wasdale Head is arguably the most dramatic—and certainly the most direct—way to the summit. Ascending steep, rocky paths beside the rushing waters of Lingmell Gill, hikers are quickly lifted out of the pastoral valley into a harsh, craggy environment of volcanic rock. The summit plateau is notorious for its boulder fields and unpredictable weather, but on a clear day, the views stretch across the Lake District fells and all the way to the Isle of Man and Scotland.
