Pico de las Nieves summit

Highlight • Summit

With its height of 1949 meters, the Pico de las Nieves is the highest point of Gran Canaria. And as a racing cyclist, you can not help but climb it. On the one hand, this is simply part of a racing bike holiday on the island, on the other hand, due to the conical shape of the island, all roads lead to Pico de las Nieves anyway.

Sometimes there is even snow up here, so the summit has its name. Very often it is definitely quite fresh here, pack the windbreaker. Often it is also very cloudy. If you're lucky, the cloud cover is below you, making the view even more spectacular. But it also happens that you are standing up here in a gray cloud soup.

Radar Station at Pico de las Nieves

Highlight • Monument

The entire area of the Pico de Las Nieves is owned by the Spanish Army (Fuerzas Armadas de España), so there are many radar and telecommunications systems.

Military radar station at Pico de las Nieves

The widely visible radar station on the 1,949-meter-high Pico de las Nieves (often called the "radar ball") is operated by the Spanish military. It is a strategically important hub for airspace surveillance over the Canary Islands and the Atlantic.

Pico Campanario (1,917 m)

Highlight • Summit

An absolutely worthwhile detour! From up here you have great panoramic views, including the Teide, the Pico de las Nieves, the valley...
The ascent is worthwhile, e.g. on the way from/to the Pico de las Nieves. The paths to the top are not clearly marked and do not necessarily correspond to the Komoot map path - it is best to follow the cairns and later simply "up" ;-).

View of Roque Nublo and Teide (Tenerife)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Roque Nublo, located in the municipality of Tejeda on the island of Gran Canaria, is considered one of the largest natural rocks in the world. It is a symbol of the island and of great importance to its inhabitants. It rises 80 metres above its base and 1,813 metres above sea level. It was a place of worship for the indigenous people. In 1987, its surroundings were declared a nature reserve and seven years later a rural park. Its gigantic appearance is only surpassed by the Pico de Las Nieves, which is the highest point in Gran Canaria at 1,949 metres above sea level.

Pico de las Nieves

Highlight • Summit

In Gran Canaria, this highest point is the hill where the Mirador del Pico de Las Nieves viewpoint is located. It is located in the centre of the island at a height of 1,949 metres. From here you can see far across the island, which has been declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. Its deep gorges full of vegetation and enigmatic rock formations are a real feast for the eyes.
