I’d give the W Trek a solid 10 out of 10.

It was even more beautiful than we had imagined beforehand. Every day was different, and we were constantly surprised by stunning landscapes and breathtaking views. The hikes were very doable, and it was fantastic to arrive each day tired but satisfied, enjoying a well-deserved beer and great company. The overall experience is one we wouldn’t have wanted to miss.

The highlight, besides witnessing an avalanche, was the last day.

After a short, cold night, we set off at 4 a.m. towards the Torres to be there for sunrise. We were incredibly lucky with the weather. A tough final climb through the snow rewarded us with the most amazing view — a truly unforgettable morning to end this trek on a high note.

The Torres Treks service was excellent.

Joe was always available to answer our questions and really thought along to make the trek fit our personal preferences. Everything was very well organised, so we could set out without any worries.
