After about an hour, you'll stop to observe how the valley’s beauty unfolds with rich beech forests, glaciers, and waterfalls.
At this lookout point (900 m/2,953 ft) above sea level, you’ll rest, take photos and have lunch. Your descent is along the same path, taking you back to the Refugio where you’ll have dinner, stretch, and rest for the evening.

At the entrance to the French Valley, a glacial moraine you’ll scramble over huge boulders and catch the first sight of the hanging glacier atop the valley. From this point, you’ll ascend for an hour through a dreamlike Japanese garden landscape before arriving at the French Valley viewpoint (the “Plateau”).
After lunch at the viewpoint, surrounded by these imposing peaks and open skies you'll descend via the same path until you reach the valley’s entrance, at which point you’ll continue around the south-west side of Paine Grande, Torres del Paine’s highest peak.
