La Fortaleza (La Gomera)

Highlight • Summit

Those who have good feet can go all the way to the top. The last piece requires good footing and you should also be free from giddiness.

I passed through here a year ago on my "Geomancy Hike 6 Garajoney" tour. It's beautiful there. The hike is part of a group tour.

Mountain walking from our holiday home, first stop in Chipude for coffee and provisions (picnic). The Fortaleza col (1,125 m) challenging, with beautiful views. Through beautiful barrancos (eroded gorges - characteristic of La Gomera) back to Los Manantiales (1,100 m).

Today there is the table mountain Fortaleza in the photos from all sides 😊. The hike went all around on beautiful paths before we arrived at the highest point of the island of Alto de Garajonay at 1483 m. It was the first day with hardly any clouds and we really enjoyed the tour up there. The path didn't have …

Third attempt to climb Alto de Garajonay, and what can I say, everything went perfectly today. What a stark contrast to the last few days. La Gomera's highest mountain presented itself to us today completely fog-free. The hike from Chipude is a highlight of our tours and a fantastic end to our vacation. We even saw Mount Teide at one …

A wonderful high-altitude hike surrounded by enchanting flowers. The hike is also very easy to do after rainfall.

It was actually a great hike. We had some bad luck with the weather. It started with rain. We had a bit of luck on the Tagelberg, but then it was just fog, extreme wind, and hardly any visibility. It kept raining and was very cold. Maybe you'll have better luck 🙂👍🍀

We've done the hike three times now, but have never seen such a display of flowers.

The walk took a good three hours, the rest of which was spent resting and stopping for photos.

Excellent weather to enjoy a trail with a bit of a view. We drive to Cipude by car and from there we do a four to five hour tour to see the highest point of La Gomera. The initial idea of running the tour the other way around to take the Fortezza with you was quickly discarded. We go in …
