Requirements and schedule:

A prior get-together at home is crucial, regarding safety and professionality. Here, the alpine experiences and expectations of the participant and the guide will be discussed. After that, a 3-day tour in the Alps will be arranged and after that the further details will be specified. Like this the program can be tailored according to the wishes and abilities of the member and a time frame for the expedition will be fixed.

The period for the travel to Patagonia will be December and January approximately 21 days. The plan is to climb the Torre from the west over the Ferrari Route. If the weather or other conditions should not be appropriate for a climb we will arrange an alternative target like the Fitz Roy or something similar. If there is nothing “big” possible for this period, we offer a refund of up to € 2.000.
