Martial Glacier

About

Martial Glacier, a natural wonder perched just 7 kilometers from Ushuaia's city center, stands as a remarkable attraction in this southernmost region. In summer, trekkers can explore a variety of trails amid the Fuegian forests, enjoying the pristine natural surroundings. The ascendancy along winding roads treats adventurers to unparalleled vistas, including Ushuaia city, the Beagle Channel, and its picturesque islands. For those seeking more adrenaline, ice walking is an option, granting access to the glacier's enchanting heart. In winter, the glacier transforms into a playground for snow enthusiasts. With a well-maintained ski center covering 56 square kilometers, you can hit the slopes for an alpine or off-piste skiing adventure. The chair lift ride alone offers one of the most stunning panoramas, providing sweeping views of the city, the Beagle Channel, and its archipelago. For those who prefer not to venture onto the glacier, Cañadón Negro (Black Gorge) offers an alternative path. This grand valley to the right of the Martial Glacier rewards hikers with a dramatic amphitheater at its summit, showcasing unparalleled views of the Beagle Channel and the surrounding islands.
