From there, use the Veleta II lift to La Peseta pist. To reach the final Veleta peak take the Zayas lift. This spot will take you through an intermediate bowl, past the World Cup race course and near the snowboard park. Quite difficult terrain of 3394 m /11135 ft altitude with 1200 m / 3937 ft in total of vertical drop.

There are about 12 advanced pistes, some branching to easier ones, some reaching at very high speeds. You can use either the Laguna chairlift or the Zayas t-bar. This location is for the experienced snowboarders.
