Itinerary:
Pick up at your hotel and transfer to the base station of cerro Catedral skiing resort at 1000 m above sea level where our trek begins. We hike on a trail that goes at the side of the mountain slowly going higher, smooth slopes which cross some streams. There is abundant bamboo like cane (caña colihue) which expanded after a fire that years ago destroyed the indigenous forest. Gutiérrez lake and cerro Ventana are at sight along the first part of the trail. Then we continue hiking on the trail gets into the Van Titter stream valley, which we cross it ahead. Lenga (nothofagus) forest and some shrubby species dominate this section of the hiking trail. In Autumn time the reddish, copper like colors of this forest offer an amazing nature show. If we are lucky we may see a woodpecker knocking on a tree bark which will interrupt the forest silence.

In the last part of the trek, the trail gets steep and in constant ascent. We will walk by Refugio (mountain hut - bivouac) Piedritas (little rock), an unusual bivouac built under a big rock. From there onwards we will observe how the vegetation gets smaller and scarce as we get higher, the Lenga shrubs will allow us to see the first rocky formations of the valley. After 4 hours hike we will see at the the foot of Aguja (spire) Frey, by Toncek lagoon the Refugio (mountain hut) Emilio Frey (at 1.700 m above sea level). The mountain hut is built in rock and wood surrounded by a circle of granite spires with funny forms.

There we will stop for lunch enjoying this unique and amazing landscape. After lunch there is enough time to do a short walk to different spots: Campanile valley, Schmoll lagoon, spires.
We return hiking through the same trail.
