Handbook route: I4
Volcano Quetrupillan: We had big problems with the gate where it is private property. When we wanted drive back, the gate was closed and a man with a gun was standing there. Only with long explanations, we could pass it. But he won’t allow to pass any more mountaineers or tourists. So, I had to promise, that I will write you and you will make a notice at your homepage. From the gate, the tour is quite long, (long flat stretches). You have written that the route is well marked, but there were no further signs after theVolcano/Laguna sign. We reached the top, but it was not easy to find the way.

Handbook route: H1
Volcano Tolhuaca: It’s a very long walk without the key for the gate (normally its closed) At least this and last year we have been there. The hostel “La Suizandina” knows the person in Curacautin where you can get the key. You need a 4x4 car for the road after the gate.

We spent two days in Villa Angostura and were enjoying the Cerro Bayo Ski area. You also have different possibilities for ski mountaineering there.

The ski area Cerro Chapelco (San Martin de los Andes) is not recommended for Ski touring.
