Tenerife · TEIDE SUMMIT HIKES
The cable car stops 160 metres below the peak. Going higher needs a free national-park permit booked well ahead, so these 4 routes are compared on whether the permit is arranged for you, how early the start is and what the altitude will do to you.
Ride the Teide cable car, hike 3 hours with an official guide, and see Spain’s highest summit plus crater views from Tenerife.
“I couldn't get to the top of the mountain because the cable car wasn't working, but the alternative tour was great and I was very satisfied.”
Hike Spain’s highest point on Teide (3715 m) with a timed permit, a qualified guide, and real mountain gear, plus optional cable car down.
“Unsere Gruppe bestand aus gerade einmal drei Personen, sowie dem Guide Peter. Alles war gut organisiert, Peter glänzte mit seiner ruhigen Art, viel Fachwissen und die Tour war zu jeder Zeit unterhaltsam. Alles in allem, Top!”
Night hike to Mount Teide for sunrise, guided by Elena, with headlamps, permits, snacks, and Teide’s famous triangular shadow.
“Great experience & personal challenge, weather was kind for a most memorable trek with Elena & full group of 6. Well organised & great communication from Elena from the booking, incl transport arrangements, Elena took time to share her local knowledge & make sure all the team were feeling ok at various elevations, I would certainly recommend the experience with Elena to others, great trek & thanks again Elena, top guide ⛰️👏🏽☀️👌🏽”
Hotel pickup to Teide National Park for a guided 2-hour hike at 2,200m, volcanic scenery, views, and convenient return for $65.
“Het was echt een mooie wandeling met een toffe gids! Enige minpuntje is de miscommunicatie over het ophaalpunt, dus vraag dit zeker telefonisch nog eens na. Voor de rest was het zeker de moeite waard.”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
