Serón – Dickson Trail (19 km / 6-7 hrs approx – High Difficulty).

Refugio Dickson is one of the mountain refuges located in the northern sector of Torres del Paine National Park, on the shores of Lake Dickson. It’s located in one of the most vegetated areas of the park, and offers a partial view of the Dickson Glacier. The views from this remote refuge will surely not disappoint!

The refuge is equipped with mixed-sex rooms with bunk beds, shared bathrooms (separate for men and women), hot showers, and a bar and restaurant. The dormitories do not have heating; however, slow-burning wood is available in the common areas.

A single bed option is also available (consisting of a mattress pad, pillow, and pillowcase), ideal for those who prefer to travel with their own sleeping bag. A bunk bed option is available for those who choose to hike without the extra weight (includes a mattress pad, pillowcase, sheets, and comforter).
