TEIDE PEAK – SUNRISE AND DAILY TOURS

From: 169,00 

Enjoy the amazing   view from Teide summit

Important: as the Teide summit hiking tours are the nbr 1 activities in Tenerife, we ask to book as soon as possible. We ask your patient and flexibility regarding the summit tours. Keep in mind we are always depending on the weather and of Teide volcano. 

Version “A” – Easy

This is the easiest option. We take the cable car up, walk from the upper station to the summit,

and then return by cable car.

The program lasts approximately 2–3 hours, typically for example from 9:00 to 12:00, depending on cable car tickets and permits.

Version “B” – Moderate

We take the cable car up and then hike to the summit. The descent, however, is done on foot without using the cable car: approximately 10 km with 1,400 meters of elevation loss.

The hike takes about 6 hours. This is a moderately difficult route but still achievable for most people.

Version “C” – Difficult

We hike up to the summit on foot and descend by cable car. This option is recommended for hikers with experience who understand what it means to hike 10 km with 1,400 meters of elevation gain.

The hike takes around 6 hours. About half of the route is above 3,000 meters, where symptoms of altitude sickness (such as headache, dizziness, or nausea) may occur in sensitive individuals. The starting time may vary. The hike can be done as a daytime tour with an early morning start, or timed for sunrise.

Version “D” – Extremely Difficult

In this version, the cable car is not used at all. We reach the summit on foot and return on foot as well. The total distance is approximately 20 km, with 1,400 meters of elevation gain and

1,400 meters of elevation loss. The hike takes about 8 hours.

This version is mainly carried out when the cable car is not operating due to weather

conditions (for example, strong winds). Under normal circumstances, this option is not preferred and is only chosen when conditions require it.
