Very good and easy double trail, around Montagna Blanka, leads you to a small openair restplace. Then a well maintained single zigzagging trail takes you fast up in the elevation. If you have to stop at every curve to enjoy the wiew wont judge you, ;) Sneaking among some lava eggs "Teide eggs" (unique lava mineral formations), you have made it to a cool rock scramble for a few hundreds of vertical meters before reaching the Refigio. Wow, the views.
Mt. Teide Permit is very important since it have to be obtained in advance! If you plan to stay overnight at the Refugio, the Permit comes with it for the day off, but reservation for the night is needed in advance. Both sunset and the sunrise are gorgeous from the top of the crater of Mt. Teide :D

Well, there is of course no public refuge here. After all, it should be a house or shelter that offers protection to everyone. But the volcanologists have a material house on the ridge where they can store their equipment.
