Description

This tour allows you to climb up to the Peak of Mount Teide (3,715m / 12,190ft) by the shortest and easiest path, only 1,3km / 0,8mi round trip, using the cable car to start the hike from La Rambleta (3,550m / 11,650ft).

Our guide will meet you at the Teide Cable Car base station. You can reach this point by car or by requesting our transport service. We start this excursion taking the cable car to ascend from the main road (2,350m above sea level) until La Rambleta.

The cable car ascends in less than 10 minutes the 1,200 metres / 4,000ft from the lower to the upper station. The magnificent views over Teide Caldera will be complemented by our commentary on the Teide National Park, protected since 1954.

Once at La Rambleta, we head to Telesforo Bravo trail that leads to the summit of Teide. The rangers will check our Peak of Teide Permit, that we will provide for you. Only 200 people a day can access the top of Teide, this allows us to offer an uncrowded, safe and quality visit, and helps to preserve its natural values with our cooperation as visitors. The beauty, conservation and uniqueness of this National Park have also well deserved the protection as UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007.

The Telesforo Bravo trail, named after a local geologist, zigzags up the steep slope over the lavas of the last eruption of Teide, that took place 1,100 years ago. A short route that requires from you to be fit enough, well equipped and not to suffer from any type of cardiovascular ailment.

During the walk we will make several stops to appreciate the grandiose landscape, catch our breath and discover the formation of Teide and some of the volcano best kept secrets: its sulphur fumaroles, its volcanic activity, the stories of the firsts expeditions, explorers, scientists and writers; a natural beacon for the ships that sail the Atlantic Ocean; considered by European travellers as the highest mountain in the world for a few centuries; and be amazed by the plants and animals that live at this height.

We edge the crater rim and reach the summit of Spain, the Pico del Teide (3,715m / 12,190ft), from where we enjoy 360º panoramic views over the whole island of Tenerife and several neighbouring islands that emerge between the blue of the sea and the sky and the white of the sea of clouds.

Time to immortalise the moment with some photos and enjoy the surroundings before starting our way down to La Rambleta, descend by Teide Cable Car to our vehicle and finish the excursion.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. We take care of the permit for the Peak of Teide for you. To request the Permit it is important that you provide the necessary information of all the participants when making reservation (name, surname and ID or Passport).

Each person must bring their personal identification document on the excursion day. Access to the Peak of Teide is regulated to preserve this highly fragile place, also for security reasons and to offer a quality experience avoiding crowds. Therefore, only 200 permits are issued for each day.

The permit is free and valid for 2 hours. Depending on te availability, we will book the time slot that best suits our excursion, normally from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. 

No, we do not recommend it. The high demand for the Teide Mount means that there are usually no tickets left on the day of the excursion, even several days before the activity. In addition, it is required to make the reservation online and doing it on the last day can generate great uncertainty. We advise you to make the reservation in advance and leave the process in our hands to receive the best assistance, coordination and service guarantee.

No. The Permit reservation and the Cable Car reservation are two different reservations and one does not give the right to use the other. We will be happy to organize it for you and take care of all the details so that you can focus on enjoying the activity.

The official guides who have accreditation from the Teide National Park, like us, have Guided Permits. Every day there is a limited number of permits for accredited guides and their clients. To use these permits, the guide must accompany the group, so it is not possible to send clients alone. You can take advantage of this opportunity and climb up to the Peak of Teide with us. We take care of the organization and the safety and we add value to this beatiful hike by sharing our knowledge of the unique place that Teide is.

Yes. Our job is to organize and make possible your excursion with what you lack and guide you to the Peak safely. Tell us what you have reserved and what you need, or let us advise you.

  • If you have the Cable Car ticket and you need the Permit and a Guide, count on us.

  • If you have the Permit, but need a Guide and the Cable Car, we will take care of it.

  • If you have the Cable Car ticket and the Permit, but you would like to have a Guide, here we are.

Yes. If you are going to walk up the Teide, simply tell us what day and at what time and we will meet you at the access control of La Rambleta with the Permit to access the Peak of Teide.

It is not necessary to use the Cable Car to go up and down. If you want to only go up by Cable Car and go down on foot or vice versa, it is also possible. We will help you organize it and guide you if you want.

If the Cable Car closes (due to bad weather or any other reason), can I change the Mount Teide Permit for another day?

No. It is not possible to change your permit but, if the cable car opens the next day, there would be a possibility to use the permit without changing it.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions

Nikolett C. (Mount Teide Ascent by Cable Car, 10/10/2022)

We went to the top of the Teide and to the Barranco de Masca with them. Both guides were well-informed and could answer all of our questions about the nature and the culture as well. They were not too much and not too little, just perfectly enough.

If you are interested to Tenerife, it is absolutely worth to go with them to at least one hike, as you can get to know so much information from them, which you can't find easily on the internet.

Filip M. (Mount Teide Ascent by Cable Car, 08/08/2022)

Thank you for the professional guidance and very passionate explanation during the mount of El Teide Miguel! Thank you Javier for the very smooth communication! Great experience.

Camille R. (Mount Teide Ascent by Cable Car, 23/01/2022)

Nous avons effectué l’ascension du Teide avec Javier.

Celui ci nous a appris beaucoup de choses, il est très sympathique et il a su s’adapter à notre rythme pour la montée. Nous le recommandons à 100% !!
