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 Tour du Queyras (GR58) is a spectacular 120km loop traversing the remote, sun-drenched Queyras Regional Natural Park in the French Southern Alps. Tucked away near the Italian border, it is often considered quieter and less commercial than the Tour du Mont Blanc. The trail weaves through high-altitude larch forests, over expansive grassy cols, and through authentic, wood-shingled villages like Saint-Véran (the highest commune in France). It is a journey that perfectly balances rugged mountain landscapes with deep cultural history. Note: Compiled from public sources — not a field report.
