Description

The tour begins with a transfer from El Calafate to Estancia Alice, located just a few miles from town. From there, a 4x4 vehicle takes you along mountain trails that wind through native forests and the Patagonian steppe, stopping at natural viewpoints where Los Glaciares National Park, the Brazo Rico of Lake Argentino, and the Cordón de los Cristales unfold before you. On clear days, Mount Fitz Roy and the Torres del Paine rise on the horizon, creating a panorama that few excursions can match. The descent along the southern face of Cerro Frías reveals new perspectives of the valley and the lake, with plenty of opportunities to capture stunning photographs. Back at the estancia, the experience concludes with lunch or afternoon tea, depending on the departure time selected.


Few four-hour excursions offer such a diverse experience: native wildlife and flora, 360-degree viewpoints, a scenic descent on the opposite side of the mountain, and local cuisine all in one trip. The tour includes transportation, a guide, and estancia access, eliminating the logistical planning that often takes time and energy in a destination like El Calafate. Available year-round, it is suitable for a wide range of travelers.


Patagonia’s visibility and weather conditions change every day. Reserve your spot on the Cerro Frías 4x4 tour in advance and secure the departure time that best fits your itinerary. Capacity is limited due to the size of the vehicle. Check availability today and reach the summit before someone else takes your seat.
