Tenerife is one of the world’s greatest hiking paradises, its routes are recognised as the most versatile, unique and breathtaking on the planet by the most experienced hikers.
It is also one of the very few places in the world that has the luxury of having all the climates of the world in such a small area. In a single day we can hike the snow-capped peaks of El Teide and walk along a coastal cliff with dreamlike views.
Winter, summer, spring or autumn, the island is definitely a dream for any hiker regardless of their level of experience and skill.
We have routes that range from the gentlest of complex family-friendly hikes with gentle gradients and idyllic scenery to the steepest of gorges that only the most expert hikers dare to cross.
Streams, waterfalls, crags, cliffs and perfect beaches that escape the mass tourism packages that are only accessible through the most beautiful routes on the planet.
The island is a melting pot of climates, soils and vegetation. You can wander from the desert panorama of volcanic calderas with rugged and rustic landscapes to the most fertile valleys populated by the mythical Canary Island pine.
Snowy paths and icy crags that outline alpine landscapes that combine with the warm trails of the coast combined with the view of the stone rocks that guard the passage of walkers.
Without a doubt, Tenerife is a paradise in any of its beautiful corners. The most picturesque villages on the coast contrast with the dizzying pace of the city or the stillness of the intimate solitude of the island’s interior. You will love Hiking Tenerife ESSENTIAL.
