About the excursion

This hike begins in the northern sector of the park, at one of Chile’s first mountain refuges (built in 1933) and the volcano’s first ski center.

It begins with a 40-minute ascent to the valley between the volcano and Cerro La Picada, where we will enjoy an incredible panoramic view of the basin and the volcanoes adjacent to Lake Todos los Santos. The trail descends to the lake and ends in the Petrohué sector.

This hike provides views of the Osorno Volcano’s peak and glaciers and is ideal for those who enjoy hiking and photography.
