Lodge Overview
Ovo is a wind refuge we invite you to live in altitude and to take a step out of your comfort zone in comfort.
ABOUT OVO
Ovo Patagonia, an exciting experience, offers adventurers a unique opportunity to spend the night overlooking the majestic Mount Fitz Roy in Argentine Patagonia. Four transparent capsules set on an impressive rock wall, at a height of 270 meters provide unbeatable views of Patagonia’s natural wonders.
We invite you to feel the power of the wind and nature’s magnificence. OVO is about making it possible to experience altitude with guaranteed safety and comfort, but much more than this, it’s about encountering nature in its purest form.
THE OVO
Each of the four Ovo Patagonia capsules have 360 panoramic views. The OVO has three floors: a bed on the upper level, a minimalist lounge in the middle, with a dry toilet and, on the bottom level, a netting that yields the ultimate height experience. An expert mountain guide is just a call away for any need and walks through the heights to bring dinner and breakfast to our guests.

Architecture and Engenieering
- The low-impact structural safety of each OVO is based on just 9 bolts with a load capacity of 35 tons each, supporting two independent structural systems capable of bearing a total service weight of 2 tons for the module. This makes the structures very safe spaces to withstand the harsh conditions of the Patagonian context.
-
Safety
- The user safety after putting on the helmet and harness, accompanied by a guide, will be ensured by a steel cable that runs from the beginning of the via Ferrata until inside the module. The design allows people to walk comfortably on metal steps and access platforms along the route.
-
Sustainability
- Low-impact implementation of the OVO
- Lightweight and removable construction
- Common areas and operations building are done with recycled plastic bricks
- All module waste is compostable
