Frey is one of the most important destinations in the Nahuel Huapi National Park, both in summer and winter, which increases in popularity year after year. The proximity to the Catedral ski resort, the comforts of the hut and the quality of their runs and gullys for skiing make it more than interesting. A few days of freeride through the center of the universe. One of our most demanding programs. Only for advanced skiers or splitboarders with good backcountry experience. We got the juice out of all his terrain in four days of riding.
