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.

It's worth driving up here. It's the highest point between the coast and the coast.

Sometimes a lot of traffic, once the tunnel is finished it should be quieter

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.

very pleasant climb, perhaps a little busy, but still beautiful to walk and never challenging

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!
