Itinerary description
Starting point at the Torres del Paine trail head, going all the way up to the three famous pinnacles at Mirador de Torres del Paine. I have set the trail as very difficult not mainly for the altitude gain, but the possible weather conditions. Rainfall can be heavy and when a sunny day the wind is usually a challenge. At places the heavy wind can be quite scary at a narrow trail with steep falls down.
But it's all worth the effort to reach the glacier lake and see the three pinnacles close up. Nothing but a natural wonder!
You have two overnight options along the way, Refugio Chilelo and a bit further up a nice and well protected camping. We stayed at the camping - put the tent up and left all stuff there before doing the final tough part to the viewpoint.
