View of Caldera de Taburiente

Highlight • Viewpoint

A beautiful, but nameless viewpoint. The view is breathtaking, with one of the Caldera de Taburiente and the other of the cliffs and mountains.

April 12, 2024,🇪🇸 La Palma: Pico de la Nieve und Pico de la Sabina (Rother Tour 64)
The Calima is still there, but we thought it was a little less this morning. No matter, we were going to the Pico de la Nieve.
From the hikers' car park we went steadily uphill in the sun with really warm temperatures and hardly any wind. Theoretically you can look down to Santa Cruz from some places, but the view …

The second summit of the day was the Pico de la Nieve (in English "snow mountain", 2239 m), also located on the edge of the Caldera de Taburiente. You won't find any snow here (at the moment), but there is a decent wind whistling around your ears.
The climb to the summit (from the spectacular mountain road LP-4) through the …

Exactly to the day: we were last in Austria at over 2000m 3 months ago. After the Achilles tendon rupture on September 27th, rest was the order of the day. Today we cleared the 2000 hurdle again 🦶💪😬 we stormed the Pico de la Nieve at 2239m. Well, storming is perhaps a bit of an exaggeration, but we were at …

...oops somehow always ignores this route. But not this time!!! Was really worth it. Nice climb and great views at the top 😎 ... the petroglyphs are also quite nice to look at.

Easy hike to the viewing summit, we spent a long time up there and admired the volcanic eruption the day before. The ascent is a bit strenuous, but the descent via the driveway is very pleasant. Before driving up to the upper parking lot, I would advise against taking a car due to the bad road and the rock falls. …

Nice tour to get into the mountains of La Palma. The start is on the road that leads to the highest mountain on La Palma. (Roque de los Muchachos 2426 m above sea level) coming from Santa Cruz. From here you have a great view of the Caldera de Taburiente. With a diameter of around 10 km, it is the …
