Patagonia, Argentina + Chile. 2 min read.
The window
The main walking season opens in late spring and runs through southern summer.
El Chaltén rewards a spare day for weather more than a route planned to the hour. Fitz Roy can hide for a morning and clear by afternoon. Build one buffer day into the stay so a closed view is not the end of the plan.
Practical
Keep two trail options of different lengths so you can match the day's wind without rewriting the whole trip.
