Why stay at FITZ CAMP?
Trekkers from all over the world travel to El Chaltén with the dream of reaching Laguna de los Tres and admiring the sheer granite walls of Mount Fitz Roy. From town, doing the round trip in a single day takes about 8 to 9 hours of demanding trekking (22 km).
By staying at FITZ CAMP, you are already right at the threshold of the final ascent. From our central dome you can witness the golden sunrise illuminating the peaks, beating the day crowds and enjoying the mountain during its most magical, quietest hours.
