TEIDE ASCENT – REFUGE – SUNSET & SUNRISE
A Day & Night ascent to the summit of Mount Teide
Climb Mount Teide (3,715 m), Spain’s highest peak and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Over the course of the experience, we hike from Montaña Blanca (2,200 m) through Teide National Park, spend the night at Altavista Refuge, and watch the sunset from the mountain.
The following morning, we start early and continue to the summit, arriving in time for sunrise above the clouds.
This is a challenging high-altitude hike for people in very good physical condition. Expect long uphill sections, cold temperatures, limited sleep, and a demanding final ascent.
A serious mountain experience — and a great personal challenge.
