Ascent to the Peak of Mount Teide on foot

Your guided climb to Teide summit begins at Montaña Blanca at 2,320 m. You’ll begin the route on paths of pumice stone and lava; a low gradient ascending walk that lasts an hour and a half. The path narrows and a there’s a slight incline before you reach the Altavista Refuge at 3,260 m. A stop at the Altavista Refuge will give you time to eat and allow your body to adapt to the different pressures of the climb and the climate. You will continue on paths of solidified lava until you reach the Teide Cable Car station (3,550 m). You will behold the spectacular views of the Teide National Park and the island of Tenerife from the cable car upper station. The climax of your epic ascent on foot to the peak of Teide is the final stretch to the Teide crater. The ascent will be much harder but we can assure you that the reward will be worth it. After the final effort, you’ll enjoy time to relax and take in the magnificent panoramic views of the Canary Archipelago from an altitude of 3,718 m. With a rucksack full of new and exciting feelings, you’ll then begin the descent on foot to the upper station of the cable car in order to board the cable car for a quick and comfortable ride back to the base station. And that’s it! You’ll have experienced the adventure that you’ve always dreamed of living: walking to the summit of Mount Teide on the historic Montaña Blanca route.
