Pick up at your hotel in Bariloche city and transfer to the skiing area of Catedral. Our trekking traverse starts at the base station of cerro Catedral skiing resort at 1000 m above sea level. We follow a hiking trail which goes at the side of the mountain slowly going higher, smooth slopes that cross some creeks. 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 trekking trail. Then the trail gets into the Van Titter creek valley, which we cross it ahead. Lenga (nothofagus) forest and some shrubby species dominate this section of our hiking trail. In Autumn the reddish, copper like colors of this forest offer an amazing nature show. 
After two hours hike the trail gets steeper and the last part is a constant slope. We will pass along Refugio (mountain hut - bivouac) Piedritas ('little rock'), an unusual bivouac built under a big rock. From this section of the trekking trail we will observe how the vegetation gets shorter and scarce as we ascent, 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. We stay for the night at Frey mountain hut. 
After a tasty, hearty breakfast and having our backpacks ready we set off hiking to Refugio (mountain hut) San Martín 6-8 hs hike by Jakob lagoon. Trekking along the Toncek lagoon and ascending at its end we get into rocky terrain until we reach the Catedral mountain ridge (at 2.000 m above sea level). On our hike upwards we pass along Schmoll lagoon and the so-called 'cancha de fútbol' (soccer court), a wide, flat area at the ridge top. From the Andes ridge the view is magnificent to Rucaco valley, cerro tres Reyes, torre principal (main Catedral tower) and the majestic Mount Tronador at the background. From the ridge we descent to the valley, we hike with our backpacks through the valley and then ascent again to Brecha Negra pass descending then to Refugio (mountain hut) San Martín, Jakob lagoon.
