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 Stockhorn (2,190m) is the guardian of the Simmental valley. Known for its distinct, angular silhouette, it offers one of the best 360-degree panoramas in Switzerland, encompassing 200 alpine peaks, the Swiss Plateau, and the Jura mountains. The trail from the Chrindi middle station (1,637m) leads past the serene Hinterstockensee lake before ascending through a karst landscape to the summit. At the top, the 'Stockhorn Eye'—a panoramic viewing platform built into the rock face—allows you to stand 400m above the vertical north wall.
