• Regel

  Every night must be booked ahead

  1. jan – 31. desBestill tidligStengninger

• Regel

  No fires anywhere in the park

  1. jan – 31. desStengninger

  Open fires are banned outright after the fires of 2005 and 2011, and stoves may only be used in the marked cooking shelters at each camp. Rangers enforce it and a careless stove has closed sectors before. Kilde ↗

  Lenga turning

  20. mar – 10. mai · vanligvisHøstfarger

  The southern beech goes red and orange across the lower valleys from late March, the wind drops off, and the park empties. Shorter days and colder nights are the trade, and the back of the circuit is already shut.

Skuldersesong — en helt vanlig måned

• Stengt

  Back circuit and refuges shut

  1. apr – 31. okt

  The park stays open but the far side of the massif does not: the John Gardner pass and most refuges close for winter, and some day routes require a guide. It becomes a park you drive and day-walk rather than trek. Kilde ↗

  Puma tracking season

  15. apr – 30. sep · vanligvisDyrelivssesong

  The cold months are when trackers find them: fewer visitors, snow that holds a print, and long low light at both ends of the day. Late April to May and September are the compromise, with the wildlife without the deep cold.

  Flamingos on the lagoons

  1. okt – 31. mar · vanligvisFuglesesong

  Chilean flamingos work Laguna Amarga and the shallow lakes by the eastern gate through the southern summer, with condors on the thermals above the same road.

• Åpning

  O Circuit opens

  1. nov – 31. marStisesongBestill tidlig

  The park service opens the back half of the massif around the start of November and shuts it again at the end of March, and it is walked counterclockwise only. The exact opening date depends on snow on the pass. Kilde ↗

  Patagonian wind season

  1. nov – 28. feb

  The same months that give you the long days give you the wind, and gusts over a hundred kilometres an hour on the exposed passes are routine rather than remarkable. It knocks people over on the Grey and Nordenskjold shores. Kilde ↗

  Guanaco birthing

  15. nov – 10. jan · vanligvisDyrelivssesong

  Chulengos drop in the open country on the eastern side from late November, which is also why the pumas are working that ground in daylight. The herds are visible from the road, no hike needed.

  Chileans and Argentines take their holidays now and the trails carry their heaviest traffic of the year. Puerto Natales runs out of beds, and the base of the towers at sunrise has a queue on the last scramble.
