About the experience
The classic Fitz Roy route with a night departure, arriving at Laguna de los Tres at first light. A different experience for early risers.
The same beloved route to Laguna de los Tres, but with a pre-dawn start so you arrive at the lake as the first sunlight hits Fitz Roy.
The trail is identical to the daytime version: 19.6 km with 890 m of elevation gain, including the final climb over the glacial moraine. What changes is the light and the stillness of the path at that hour.
