Teide Cable Car + Hike to the Summit

Ready to climb the highest peak in Spain? We'll pick you up at your hotel or the agreed meeting point bright and early and head out toward the Teide National Park. Time to explore Tenerife's other-worldly volcanic landscape!

We'll arrive at the base station of the Teide cable car, get off the bus, and enjoy a trip up to the highest peak in Tenerife. We'll go up about 1000 meters (3280 feet) until we reach 3555 meters (11670 feet) above sea level. After a 10-minute ride in the cable car, we'll have reached our first destination, but there is still a long way to go!

Thanks to the official permit included in this day trip, we'll be able to start the hike up to the summit of the Teide volcano. The hike is intense, but it'll totally be worth the effort since, after just 40 minutes of walking uphill, we'll have reached the top of the crater.

We'll smell sulfur which indicates volcanic activity and, if the day is clear, we'll be able to spot the surrounding islands, such as Gran Canaria, La Gomera, El Hierro, and even La Palma. Make sure to bring your camera!

Finally, we'll make our way back to the cable car, ride back down, and return to the bus. The excursion will come to an end back at the starting point after a total of 6 hours.

Climbing the Peak

This activity doesn't have immediate confirmation upon reservation since it's necessary to request a special permit from the national park to climb the Teide peak.

Once we receive your reservation, we'll process the permit and confirm it once we have obtained your authorization. If after 72 hours you have not received the final confirmation, you can get in touch with us to check the status of this operation.

Additional Info

Those with heart issues, pregnant women, and individuals with reduced mobility cannot go up on the cable car. Please note that, for safety reasons, only visitors wearing sports or mountain shoes are allowed on the Teide cable car. Sandals, shoes without back support, heels, and flat-soled shoes are not permitted.

Pickup Times and Places

Pickup times are generally between 6:45 am and 9:35 am, but we'll let you know the exact time in the days leading up to the tour. When you make your booking, please indicate one of the pickup points we offer in the towns along the southern coast of Tenerife such as Costa Adeje, Playa San Juan, or Los Cristianos.
