Originated in pil : rock and tron : clouds, literally Piltriquitrón means "hanging from the clouds", as if you observe it during a rainy day, effectively, it looks as if hanging from the sky.

Arriving in the settlement of the El Bolsón village, there are people who assure they have a new feeling.

Many assert they feel quieter, that they can sleep better, that they are more relaxed.

Others perceive a sensation of peace and they attribute it to the oxigin of the forests, or to the purity of the air, to the magnanimity of the scenery and to several other logical reasonings. According to some experts on magnetism and radiesthesy, the Piltriquitron Mount emits a certain energy that improves your mood.

The experts assert that El Bolsón is one of the sites in this planet called "energetic centers"

So there is nothing better for a true relax than paying a visit to El Bolsón and taking a deep breath...

Leaving from the city, you will go along some kilometers to find a narrow rubble road leading up to the platform of the Piltriquitrón Mount, at more than 1,000 meters over sea level.

You will be at a few kilometers from the path fork and the panorama opening from this natural viewpoint is impressive. Bushes invade every corner and you will see cypress and coihue forests on the surrounding slopes, together with the blackthorns that form a thick body of trees dyed in different green shades that turn into a wide range of ochers and oranges in the Fall.

From that point you may start walking along a well-delimited mountain path which does not present major difficulty and that will lead you to the shelter on Piltriquitrón Mount.

The walk will take approximately one hour (depending on your marching rhythm) and when you reach your aim, you will be able to behold the Andes Mountain Range with its most important peaks, such as the Tronador and the Tres Picos Mounts and the beautiful valley of the Azul River . And according to the degree of visibility allowed by the atmosphere, you will also see the Osorno Volcano in Chilean territory.

The mount rises at 11km from the town center and it is 2,260 meters high. We recommend that you take advantage of the fresh morning hours to do the climbing in the summer, and that you take water, sweets, light shoes and boots for this hiking excursion. You may spend the night in the shelter if you take your own sleeping bag, and use the gastronomic and sanitary services.

On the Piltriquitrón Mount slope, you will find the main cottage resorts. You will even find handcraft workshops, plants nurseries, tea-houses and horseriding excursion organizers. When you reach the 1,200m, you will find the paragliding flights starting platform, where you will enjoy one of the best mounts in the country for the practice of this sport.

Do not try this tour with bad or cloudy weather as all reference points are easily lost and it is an area where you can find yourself inside a cloud in a couple of minutes.

You must take good shoes and water as in the summer you will not find any more water after you pass the stream. Take an anorak even in fine days and a jacket as it might be windy in the summit and it gets very cold. It is a pity having to go down quickly because of the cold weather when the cause for going up is enjoying the view.

In the shelter, we recommend that you follow the advice provided by Martín and Eleonora, who are in charge of the shelter and which advice is extremely useful. Lastly, you will have to give notice of the attempt to hit the summit due to possible losses, and finally, we wish you to have a good walk.
