Difficult · FIS-homologated
The FIS black under the cable cars — steep, direct, reopened in January 2025
Subteleferic runs straight down the fall line under the cable cars — hence the name — and is the resort's FIS-homologated black: 2,200 m long (plus a 695 m variant), 650 m of vertical from about 1,700 m to 1,050 m, 35 m wide. It was closed for several seasons and reopened on 22 January 2025, so many regulars still think of it as new. The steepness is sustained rather than spiky, which suits strong skiers who want rhythm, not a single wall. Because it faces the lifts, everyone riding up watches you ski it. It is usually quieter than Sulinar but, being steep and man-made, it can be hard and icy early in the day. Not a run to learn on.
