Details

We’ll leave Puerto Natales and head to Pudeto to board the catamaran to Paine Grande Refuge. From here begins the iconic French Valley Trek, one of the highlights of the W Circuit in Torres del Paine.

The trail runs along the north shore of Lake Pehoé, with emerald waters and breathtaking views of the Cuernos del Paine. As the path gets steeper, you’ll pass the Lake Skottsberg and enjoy views of the Paine Massif, before reaching the Italian Camp, gateway to the valley.

You’ll continue for 1.5 hours to the French Viewpoint, where you’ll admire the peaks Hoja, Espada, and Fortaleza, as well as Nordenskjöld, Pehoé, and Toro lakes. After taking in these amazing landscapes, you’ll hike back to Paine Grande, completing nearly 20 km of trekking, then return by catamaran to Pudeto and back to Puerto Natales.
