It's best to arrive here very early. Leave your base in El Chalten in the dark and bring a head torch. This is a considerably safe route (2019) and can be done alone. Bring a head torch and try to reach the Mirador Fitz Roy 30 minutes before sunrise.
Watch the spectacle of sunrise turning Fitz Roy pink and all other colours. One to tick off the bucket list!

Hiking

Absolutely amazing, steep at the end but worth every minute of it.

Beautiful view of Fitz Roy and the surrounding peaks. A sign documents the names of the individual peaks. If you're lucky, the sky is clear and the mountain range can be seen in all its beauty.
