Nahuel Huapi Traverse (4 Refugios)

The Nahuel Huapi Traverse is a multi-day hut-to-hut route that circumnavigates the mountain ranges adjacent to San Carlos de Bariloche. The trail follows a high-alpine path, connecting four distinct mountain refugios via ridgelines, loose scree slopes, and granite passes. The terrain is characterized by a mix of Andean forest and exposed high-altitude terrain, where route-finding and stability on loose rock are primary requirements. The system of stone huts (refugios) provides a logistical framework for the journey, though hikers must be prepared for sustained physical output in an exposed mountain environment.

Canada's longest hut-to-hut hiking trail and a hidden gem of the West Coast. Stretching 180km from Sarah Point to Saltery Bay, the Sunshine Coast Trail (SCT) winds through ancient rainforests, along coastal ridges, and past crystal-clear lakes. Unlike many others, the SCT is developed and maintained by a non-profit (PAWS) and features 14 beautiful, free-to-use huts. It is a spectacular wilderness marathon for the community-minded hiker.
