テネリフェ島の峠・トップ14

You can take some nice tours here, but it's also very busy.

What a giant Teide is becomes clear here at the foot of the mountain. The sign gives it away: you are already at an altitude of 2,250 meters at this point. And yet you have to tilt your head back to look up at the crater of the island volcano and thus at the highest Spanish mountain.

The path to Barancco Seco is closed from February to August due to bird breeding seasons. The upper path, which leads towards El bujero, is very impressive, especially the view of the valley. But the path is also adventurous and can be classified as T2+ in terms of level and in some areas up to T3+ (some exposed areas with a possible risk of falling. The path is mostly recognizable, sometimes only guessable. ), so not without it. At the end it is important to follow the red arrow and turn left up, otherwise you will end up on a short path (T4+) which, after some climbing on the slope, leads back to the actual path, but is very dangerous and you often cannot find the path so you have to look for it yourself. So be careful!

A fantastic tour in the west of Tenerife!

Sweet pass with some traffic but nice views

This is the highest point at the base of Teide, that is, the highest point in the national park (not counting the upper dome of the volcano). This can only be climbed by cable car or by walking along an extremely steep path, so this is the end of the ascent to Teide by bike.

The Port of Erjos takes you from sea level to Las Cruces, reaching 1100 meters high. Don't miss the views of the Atlantic behind you
