Las Lajas, Piedra del Águila, and El Ceferino are three popular intermediate trails, each offering a unique experience with varying terrain and views. Las Lajas is a wide, gently sloping run that winds through scenic alpine forests, making it a favorite for those looking for a more relaxed, cruising experience. It’s ideal for skiers who are still refining their technique and prefer smoother descents with plenty of space to maneuver. In contrast, Piedra del Águila is slightly more challenging, with a steeper pitch and narrower sections that require more control and precision. This trail offers breathtaking vistas of the surrounding mountains and is great for skiers who want to test their skills on a more varied slope without venturing into advanced territory. Lastly, El Ceferino is a versatile intermediate trail with some exciting variations in pitch, providing a mix of faster, more exhilarating sections and smoother, more gentle stretches. The trail also offers fantastic views of the resort and the nearby peaks, making it a great option for skiers looking to explore a bit more while still enjoying moderate difficulty.
