    The Pico de las Nieves, with its 1956 meters, is the highest point on the island.
    However, you can only access the viewpoint that is a little below the top, as it is located in a small military zone and is not accessible.

      At 1,949 meters, the Pico de las Nieves (in English: “Snow Peak”) is the second highest point on Gran Canaria. Sometimes it is also called “Pozo de las Nieves” or “Pico de los Pozos de las Nieves”. The peak is located in the island's mountainous area and is easily accessible by car. Access is via the GC-130 and the GC-134. Free parking spaces are also available directly at the viewpoint.

      Right next to the Pico de las Nieves is also the Morro de la Agujereada, also known as the Pico de los Pozos. At 1,956 meters, this mountain is the highest point on the island. You can also see this mountain well from the vantage point. A short path leads you from the parking lot up to the highest point.

      On a clear day you have a great view of the mountains of Gran Canaria from the vantage point. From here you can also see, for example, the Roque Nublo, one of the landmarks and an important place of pilgrimage on Gran Canaria. In addition, the Teide volcano on Tenerife rises on the horizon. Often you are even above the clouds. Because these often hang quite low in the mountains of Gran Canaria.

      Even if you want to hike, there are opportunities to do so on site. A hiking trail leads down from the parking lot at Pico de las Nieves. You can reach the Roque Nublo or the camping and picnic area Llanos De La Pez in different ways. However, the Pico de las Nieves itself is not a classic hiking area, but rather a worthwhile stop as part of your hike.

        When the weather is good, you have wonderful views from here all the way to Tenneriffa.
