Arrival at Cero Martial

Description of the walk

(S/E) The starting point for this hike is next to the hotel where we stayed, the Hosteria Chalp. In Ushuaia, if you are on foot, any taxi can take you to the starting point. Otherwise, if you are driving, there are places to park on the streets. It is at 1839 Avenida Leandro N. Alem

From the starting point, go to the Altos Hotel (1), where the Luis Martial Glacier Trail (Sendero del glaciar Luis Martial) begins. There is a sign indicating that you should follow the yellow markings.
At first, the climb is through the forest. At certain points, you will follow small sections of the Luis Ferdinand Martial road until you reach the point (5) at Cero Martial.
