This is an easily accessed line as just follow "Lagonilos line" until the end if the hiking part. Then turn right above the artificial lake, line is not steep and can feel like a piste but there are some rocks, which can be jumped if wanted but this is optional. Good weather conditions needed as area can be frozen due to W aspect as the line gets a lot of sun on its lower 2/3. Avalanche risk need to be taken in consideration in the steepest area. An unusual hazard to be aware of on this line is the lake in the middle of the line as if you go to low, this can be dangerous. The line finishes on the red piste "Cuesta de las Artesillas" which leads back to the "laguna" chairlift.

Tajos da la virgen gully

A line based on the same route than the laguna as all these line are very well linked together as the "Tajo de la virgin" black slopes is the only way to access to this. The best is the to take as much possible speed to do not have to push too much with the ski poles.
