El Cerro Catedral - Frey

The hike up to the lodge Frey is another hike I have been recommended and is very accessible even without vehicle. After a night out in Bariloche, I decided to walk it off up El Catedral, a fairly light hike with a slightly more challenging finish. Then, there are those that do this hike with loaded 80 L backpacks, for the outstanding rock climbing at the top!

The hike takes about four, starts off with a pleasant walk along the side of the mountain before entering a forest, and finally leave you between two peaks as you take on the last (steep) stretch to the lodge.

And finally Frey...
