I am trying to determine how many hikes we can do in the 2.5 days were are in El Chalten. All posts are in hours to complete which a lot of times not accurate. If I knew the actual distance (km or miles) and elevation gain I would know what we could do from experience (I hike weekly here in Utah at 8-10K feet and easily do 2mph). Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Almost all the trailheads start in the town of El Chalten, something of a hiker's mecca right in the Fitz Roy range.One of the delights of hiking here is that you can spend each day exploring all the different viewpoints, lakes and mountains and return each evening to a comfortable hotel in this welcoming, lively mountain town. El Chalten is considered the Trekking Capital of Argentina for a reason. Every traveller you meet in this cute town is in his hiking boots, carrying a pole, dressed in their trekking attire and ready to hit the trail. Protein powder for mind. El Chalten is full of beautiful trails. It has something to offer for everyone, be it a novice hiker or a professional one.

For example. One thought is to do a kamakazee day and go from No23 to Piedras Blancas to Laguna de los Tres and then down to Laguna Capri and to El Chalten. (we will be there in early February).

Thanks for the input.
