Full description
At 3.718 Mount El Pico del Teide is Spains’s highest peak.
Good fitness is the key to the climb, there are no technical difficulties but we require our team members to have the mental determination and good physical conditioning.
The start of the El Teide climb is scheduled at 1 am or 2 am depending on the sunrise.
You will start the climb from the Montaña Blanca trail for about 3.30 hrs to the Altavista hut where we will take a short break.
You will continue climbing until the crater, about 1.30h, more or less depending on your pace and arrive at the summit 3718 m to observe this magnificent spectacle:
Sunrise and its explosions of colour.
Mount Teide hike can be done also during day time; just it needs more planning in time as permit for the Top is very limited.
This experience requires a very good physical condition, motivation and good equipment. We reach 3718 m oxygen is rarer and temperatures can sometimes be negative.
It is a real personal challenge but the reward is great and the overtaking of oneself gives an unforgettable satisfaction.
Had such a fantastic experience. Climbing the El Teide with best guide Alex. Had a amazing time! I can recommend this definitely to anyone who wants unforgettable time on the the top of the Volcano!
