Our story began in 1946, when Reynaldo Knapp, a passionate local transporter and mountaineer, joined forces with the Bariloche Andean Club. Together, they established the Club's very first refuge, conceived as a welcoming sanctuary for skiers, climbers, and anyone drawn to the beauty of the mountains. This rich history imbues Refugio Knapp with a unique character and a genuine spirit of hospitality.
