Description

Enjoy an unforgettable winter experience on the Martial Glacier and watch the sunset from one of the most incredible viewpoints in Ushuaia. The adventure begins with a transfer from your accommodation to the base of the mountain. From there, you'll ascend by chairlift while enjoying views of the snowy landscape, Ushuaia city, the Beagle Channel, and the Fuegian Andes. Upon reaching the upper area, you will begin a guided hike along the snowy trails of the Martial. During the tour, you'll be able to enjoy the natural surroundings, learn more about the Fuegian landscape, and see how the sunset light transforms the mountains and the city. As night begins to fall, you'll begin your descent using crampons to walk more safely on the snow and ice. Depending on the time of year and the light conditions, this part of the tour is done with headlamps, creating a different experience among the mountain, the forest, and the snow. Upon returning to the base, you'll finish the activity in a cozy mountain bar, where you can relax and choose between a beer or a hot chocolate before heading back to your accommodation.
