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.

The Sella-Herbetet Traverse (Traversata Sella–Herbetet) is a primary high-altitude loop within the Parco Nazionale del Gran Paradiso, Aosta Valley. The route connects Rifugio Vittorio Sella (2,584m) with the Casolari dell'Herbetet via a sustained balcony trail. The traverse crosses steep south-facing slopes overlooking the Valnontey valley (Cogne), utilizing narrow paths through rocky karst and scree. Historically a royal hunting preserve, the area supports a high density of Alpine Ibex (Capra ibex), which are frequently observed at elevations above 2,200m. The circuit involves a significant 1,150m vertical gain from the Valnontey valley floor.
