Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "not confirmed by the operator" are listed on OpenStreetMap, in the press or in guides but could not be checked on an official page. Frey, Jakob and Laguna Negra belong to the Club Andino Bariloche and are run by concessionaires; López is private. All have bunk rooms with mattresses, toilets and meals, but no showers, and camping is allowed only at the hut campsites, with a booking. Fires are banned: cook on a gas stove, outside the huts.
