Fitz Roy Holidays

As you see the soaring towers of Mount Fitz Roy rise up from the steppe, surrounded by jagged, snow-clad spires, just a whirl of cloud hovering above, you’ll appreciate why this is one of the most famous peaks in all of Argentine Patagonia. Rising to 11,500ft, it is one of the most magnificent mountains in the world, with polished granite towers, too steep for even snow to settle - it’s no surprise that it has resisted human ascent for so long.
