After breakfast, our transfer will take us to the Lake Pehoe, which we’ll cross via catamaran to the starting point French Valley hike. Today's destination, the French Valley, is a spectacular natural basin surrounded by peaks and hanging glaciers. This is a return French Valley hike, so we will be
able to leave our packs behind and trek lightly. We start by walking around Paine Grande, the highest peak in Torres del Paine, through native Patagonian firebush and evergreen beech forests. At the suspension bridge over the French River, the arresting hanging glaciers atop the valley will come into sight. From here, we’ll walk for another hour on this French Valley hike, ascending 300 meters through a dreamlike Japanese garden landscape before arriving at the Valley viewpoint. At the lookout we’ll stop to drink in the French Valley’s dramatic peaks and landscapes and reenergize with a good lunch. Our return French Valley hike along the same track takes us to meet the catamaran to cross Pehoe Lake, followed by a transfer service to our lodge. Your hotel tonight is Hotel Las Torres.
