Torres del Paine

Dickson camp
From Los Perros on well kept forest lanes without important ascents.

Seron2Lago Amarga    
From Camp Seron following the Paine river across meadows and passing groups of pasturing horses. After approximately 7 km bifurcation to the left. The right hand trail leads to the Torres hotel. Continuing along the Paine river. At km 11 bifurcation to the right. To the left leads to the Paine waterfalls.

LosPerros camp    
Easy descent from the Gardener pass. Starting through gravel and bolders and then through laurel woods.

Gardener pass
From the Grey refuge along the rim of the Grey glacier. Several ladders cross a couple of gravel shoots. The view to the left onto the glacier is impressive. After 8.5 km starts the steep acsent to the pass.

Seron camp    
A nice trail leads from Dickson along the Paine river until lake Paine. Followed by  a longer ascension  and at the end of the lake a short but steep descent to the river and Seron.

French Camp    
Easy trail from Los Cuernos along the lake Nordenskiold.

Grey    
Starting from Paine Grande the trail follows lake Grey without remarkable denivelations. Partially through laurel forest and with nice views on the lake and a couple of ice plates.

Laguna Amarga    
The connection between the entry of the park and the Torres hotel can be covered on the hiking trail or by shuttle bus for lazy tourists.

Los Cuernos    
Nice hiking trail from Las Torres to the Cuernos camp without noticeable denivelations. Good accommodation is provided here but mostly booked out.

Paine Grande    
The distance from French camp to Paine Grande offers fantastic views on the Frances glacier in the Paine Grande massif. After the crossing of the Frances river, the trail leads along the lake Skottberg to the big Paine Grande hostel.

Torres del Paine    
Probably the most frequented trail to the famous Torres del Paine. A comfortable and wide trail takes from the Torres hotel to the Chileno refuge. Continuing a while along the river. The ascension to the small lake at the foot of the Torres leads rather steep between rocks and boulders. But the view on the Torres is worth the effort. Even though the return is another 10 km. Of course easier if one of the few places  in the Chileno refuge is still available.

Valle del Frances    
The fantastic view at the end is certainly worth the effort. Best is a start from Los Cuernos and a return either on the same itinerary or continuing to Paine Grande.
