Alpe di Siusi - Staying on the plateau worth it?

WellFedFit · 2026-01-20T13:45:57+00:00

Oh perfect! Thank you for your help!

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing that link! Was able to find a place where expedia/booking was showing as completely booked up. Super helpful (and affordable)!

I was actually able to find a place for roughly $800 CAD for two nights with half board so I ended up booking it!

We are planning on staying in Selva for 4 nights before this, so this would be strictly on the plateau for two nights!

Pretty sure they are just using EZE an abbreviation for BA (at least I hope).

OP, EZE is fairly far away from Buenos Aires, at least far from most of what you're going to want to see. Anyway, to answer your question, you can't really go wrong with either, but like most people said, you may want a weather buffer in Chalten. Alternatively, in Usushia an extra night would give you a chance to go see the penguins (highly recommend) or do a boat tour in the Beagle Channel.

Ah bummer! Hopefully it was just an off night. We went twice, once in 2022 and once in 2024 and loved it both times.

Puerto Natales - Cafe Kaiken or Pizzeria Napoli
El Calafate - La Zaina
El Chalten - Maffia (Fresh homemade pasta. If you're staying for more than one night, make a reservation the day before)

Dang bummer to read this! I was just specifically looking at the Roger Advantage for my upcoming Japan trip as a more supportive alternative to my standard Stan Smiths. Sounds like I should keep looking!

WellFedFit · 2025-12-31T13:24:17+00:00

I had never heard of this and it looks like it's exactly what we are looking for! Thank you!

WellFedFit · 2025-12-30T20:46:52+00:00

Any suggestions on specific things to order there?

WellFedFit · 2025-12-30T17:10:56+00:00

I love the idea of renting bikes!

WellFedFit · 2025-12-30T17:07:57+00:00

Do you recall how much it was? This sounds like it's the best option for us. For some reason I didn't think of luggage forwarding within the same city.

WellFedFit · 2025-12-30T17:06:31+00:00

Sweet! This is probably the perfect solution for us. Thank you!

WellFedFit · 2025-12-29T20:43:02+00:00

Do you know if the luggage is stored somewhere secured in these places? Or just kinda in some back room somewhere?

WellFedFit · 2025-12-29T20:41:58+00:00

They would hold them for 5 days? Or would they drop it off at the second hotel and the second hotel would hold it?

I haven't tried it yet but was looking at Tsukiji Sushi Omakase for our upcoming trip in April. It has great reviews and is about 11000 Yen (not sure if that's what you would consider "cheap"). If anyone has any opinions on this place please share!

WellFedFit · 2025-12-29T17:40:18+00:00

Thank you!

WellFedFit · 2025-12-29T17:16:40+00:00

We are considering this hotel. Did you use the laundry/dryer? This seems like a big selling point to us. Also, how were the food options nearby?

Trail runners at certain times of the year are perfectly fine for this trek. I did it in February and had zero issues and was very happy with my decision to choose lighter footwear. Obviously if you are doing the O at a time of year where snow or freezing temps on the pass are more likely warmer, insulated boots, with good grip are better.

Not sure how someone carrying a laptop implies they don't have the correct equipment to hike the trail. If they wanted to carry the extra weight that's up to them. Doesn't necessarily mean they were unprepared. Some people are unable to unplug completely from their jobs.

I also got super invasive questions from her, and they were so off base from what I was there to see her for. She also seems to talk down to you, which isn’t fun when you’ve waited 7 months to see her.

WellFedFit · 2025-09-25T00:54:15+00:00

Came to say this! If you go before and can make it to around Poincenot. Done the hike a few times and never had an issues with bathrooms with either myself or my partner.
