W Trek: Patagonia’s granite, glaciers, and weather that tests your waterproof

The W Trek is Torres del Paine’s signature walk: 4–5 days tracing a W-shaped route past glaciers, turquoise lakes, and the iconic granite towers. Refugios or camping, depending on your tolerance for wind and shared bathrooms.

The W Trek

4–5 days

Three arms, three landscapes. Grey Glacier (western arm): ice calving into gray water. French Valley (middle arm): an amphitheater of granite. Las Torres (eastern arm): the sunrise. The one you’ve seen in every photo. It’s better in person.

Best for:

Fit walkers, adventure couples, photographers, dedicated hikers

Planner’s edge:

November–March only. Refugios book out 6+ months ahead. We secure the beds and pair the W Trek with wider Patagonia — Perito Moreno, El Chaltén, or a Punta Arenas extension.
