Frey por el Filo

The best one day trek in the Naheul Huapi National Park! A combination of rugged mountains, cool lakes and pleasant forest. Excellent views to Tronador

Transport:
Bariloche - Villa Cathedral: During summer there are about hourly services between about 7.00am and 8.00pm starting from the Centre and alternately going along Bustillo and Pioneros. $ 6.00 one way. Retun by same way

Route: (can be walked in either direction)
From Villa Catedral take the Gondola ($50) lift details, then chair lift to the top. Walk about 1k to the pass. From there it's a traverse following red dots marked on the rocks until you reach Roca Inclinada after about 2 hours. Pass through the Canca de Futbol and drop down to Laguna Schmol. Another hour onto Laguna Tonchek (Refugio Frey). From the Refugio it's 3 - 4 hours, first descending into the forest then travsersing the slope until you arrive back at Villa Catedral.
