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.

Sarek National Park is considered Europe's last true wilderness: no marked trails, no cabins, no bridges over raging glacial rivers, and no cell service. However, on the very eastern edge of Sarek lies Mt. Skierfe (1,179m), boasting a sheer 700-meter vertical drop overlooking the braided, turquoise waters of the Rapadalen delta. The view from the top is universally acclaimed as the most beautiful in all of Sweden. To reach it without undertaking a strenuous 10-day survival expedition deep into Sarek, hikers take a multi-day detour off the Kungsleden trail to the STF Aktse hut. From Aktse, Skierfe is climbed as a demanding 10-mile (16km) round-trip day hike through dense birch forests and steep alpine tundra, terminating at the demanding, unprotected cliff edge.
