Description
Often considered the queen stage of Tenerife cycling routes, this ride offers one of the island’s greatest sporting challenges: the climb towards the slopes of Mount Teide, a route well known among international cyclists.
The ascent begins gradually with an initial 12-kilometre climb at an average gradient of around 5–6%, allowing you to settle into a steady rhythm while riding through volcanic landscapes and pine forests typical of the area.
After reaching Vilaflor, the highest village in Tenerife, the real challenge begins. From here you will tackle a demanding 14-kilometre climb with an average gradient of around 8%. As you continue higher, the altitude becomes an additional challenge, reaching approximately 2,100 metres above sea level near Retamar.
Once the highest point is reached, the reward comes with an impressive 45-kilometre descent back towards Playa de las Américas, offering spectacular views across the island and coastline.
The route covers approximately 75 km, with an elevation gain of around 1,800 metres and an estimated duration of about 5 hours. It is an ideal experience for cyclists looking to take on a true endurance challenge while riding through one of Tenerife’s most dramatic natural landscapes.
