Peaks of Gran Canaria
The trail winds through the picturesque mountainous landscapes of central Gran Canaria, near the summit of Pico de las Nieves (1,949 m above sea level). This is a unique route that allows you to discover the island’s untamed beauty, experience its mountain atmosphere and admire spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges and the ocean.
Along the way, you can enjoy vast forests of Canary Island pine, rugged mountain scenery and the impressive silhouette of Roque Nublo (1,813 m above sea level), one of the island’s most iconic landmarks. In favourable weather conditions, the trail also offers views of Gran Canaria’s eastern and southern coastlines, as well as the majestic Pico del Teide volcano (3,718 m above sea level), rising on the neighbouring island of Tenerife. It is an ideal choice for lovers of mountains, nature and unforgettable scenery who want to discover one of the most picturesque parts of the island.

ATTENTION!!!
Sports / trekking shoes (with a clear tread) are compulsory and will be checked by a guide before starting the trip. During our trips, we recommend mountain clothing or sportswear.
During the April – September period it rarely rains. Even in the highest parts of the mountains the temperature is at about 22 degrees, reaching up to 26 degrees in June, July and August. The T-shirt usually is enough, but it’s always a good idea to take long-sleeved clothing.
The October – March period has variable weather and more frequent rainfalls (we always try to avoid our trips during rainy days, but sometimes the weather may surprise us). We recommend (during cold days it’s obligatory) warm clothing with long sleeves (long pants, polartec) and, just in case, a rain jacket which also can also serve as a windstopper.
In the event of force majeure, including adverse weather conditions, extreme temperatures, a risk of forest fires, or any other circumstances that prevent the trip from continuing safely or pose a risk to the health or safety of the participants, the organizer reserves the right to modify the itinerary, reschedule the trip to another date, or cancel it.
Recommended minimum age for children: 8 years
