Experts will need to hike the Punta Sattler to ski several steep and long canyons and ridges on its south and east facing slopes. Adventure Skiing Punta Sattler offers the only good terrain for adventure seekers near Lagunillas. Begin hiking from the top of El Pancho and expect to spend up to an hour in the ascent. There is great avalanche danger on the south-facing canyons of this treeless hill. This hazard is evidenced by a house constructed in the run-out zone which also crosses the Lagunillas access road.
People still live in the lower level, but the second story was taken out several years ago.
Some avalanche hazard exists in the Estadio bowl west of La Lola as well. There is a designated nordic skiing area west of the alpine slopes under the Tinajas summit, but the entire region has plenty of easy, rolling terrain. Providencia 2529, Loc. All Rights Reserved.
