Our main ascent will be by the chairlifts of the Ski Resort, that will take us to the edge of Cerro Catedral, where will start our adventure in the backcountry. Once we are at the edge we will traverse this mountain heading to the SW, hiking on the 2000 m (over sea level) average. After 2 or 3 hours we will arrive to a platform at 2000m called "Cancha de Futbol". Here we will climb down the steep eastern slope that takes us to "Lagoon Schmoll" (a high Andean lake). Then, we will climb down for twenty minutes more and we will arrive to Toncek Valley where is the lake with the same name. Here we will be inside a valley with enormous and beautiful granite spires, where also is the Refugio Frey, where you can enjoy something to drink or eat. In hot summer days you can refresh yourself in the lake.
