Cerro Goye is a popular peak for trail runners in Bariloche. It provides a less-steep, more runnable alternative to some of the surrounding peaks. The first mile or so is up a Jeep road. From there, you will see a tree labeled with "Goye" pointing you to the left. It is a pretty cruisy, enjoyable run up through the forest. When you reach the saddle, turn left towards the summit. There are several bumps along the ridgeline, but the highest point is very evident and marked with a cairn. Make sure you touch the true summit! The run down is fast and fun.

The “Three Passes” trip between the Waimakariri and Kokatahi, West Coast has been a Canterbury staple for almost 100 years. It is just as popular today in the modern era as it was back in the age of exploration.

From the stony riverbeds of the Waimakariri, to the icy Whitehorn Glacier and hanging alpine lake Browning, and into the lush West Coast River valleys, this quintessential traverse involves crossing the Southern Alps three times through a myriad of landscapes, climates and ecosystems.

If you are looking for vert in Bariloche, Cerro Lopez is the peak for you. There are multiple ways up, as it is close to the popular 4 Refugios Trek. An alternative route variation could be the north ridge, which is a scramble with a brief via ferrata section. There is a segment for this ridge on Strava (subida Palotinos).
