Standing on the slopes of Mt. Tronador, at 6230 feet above sea level, amongst glaciers Alerce and Castaño Overa, the refuge offers services between October and May, with opening and closing dates which vary each year depending on meteorology and terrain conditions. It is important to get informed about this in advance.
We provide transportation to Pampa Linda which is at the base of Mt. Tronador, the start for all the trekking trails of this towering mountain and its surroundings. This round trip service is offered daily during spring and summer. The go starts early in the morning from downtown Bariloche and takes about two hours. The return from Pampa Linda takes place in the afternoon.

If you are going to use the camping area next to the refuge have in mind that it lays at a high mountain environment where the weather conditions can be much more severe than inside the valleys, even during the summer. Watch a weather forecast for the exact place and altitude (6200 feet), for wind, precipitation and temperature, and ask if the camping area is covered with snow before you go for it. Your tent should be of suitable design and quality, and must have ropes for attachment since it could be impossible to use stakes due to the soils hardness. It is also necessary to count with enough warm clothes and ground insulation, especially if you are camping on snow. You will be asked to always use the hut´s toilet and to wash your dishes inside the kitchen.
During the season there is thaw water supply, electricity (220 volt) and toilet with no shower.
There is no phone or internet signal.
The use of portable stoves is not allowed inside the building.
There is no technical mountain gear rental.
