Trail Reviews

Ghewij Ph.
August 14, 2021, Tour du Miroir d'Argentine from Solalex

Tour du Miroir d’Argentine - First Part is a steep hike up (60’) afterwards flat and going up nicely with some more steep parts. After 3 hours you will arrive at a refuge for a nice lunch with a very nice regional wine menu. After the break only 40’ left to go back down to Solalex. Good conditions and shoes necessary, don’t forget to take enough water with you, till the refuge you will not find any water source.

The beginning is demanding and a little monotonous. As soon as we arrive at the ridge, the view is spectacular. The mirror of Argentina is a famous site for climbing
