Cycling Routes in Tenerife, Spain

92 km circuit of the volcano's southern flank using the steadier gradients — the Teide experience without the steepest ramps.

The gentlest way up: 47 km to Vilaflor at a steady gradient — as close to an easy day as the south of Tenerife offers.

The other Tenerife: 47 km through the ancient laurel forests and ridgeline roads of the Anaga mountains in the island's north. Constant climbing, unforgettable riding.

The friendlier northwest loop from Santiago del Teide around Montaña Negra — 51 km through lava fields and pine forest without the big-mountain gradients.

Short but mighty: 49 km from Santiago del Teide through the famous Masca gorge road — relentless ramps, hairpins and the most dramatic scenery on the island.

The signature day: up through Vilaflor into the Teide National Park past the cable car at over 2,300 m, then down via Chío. 117 km and 2,800 m on the longest climb in Europe.

85 km from Adeje climbing to Vilaflor through the pine forest and returning along the quieter western slopes — the standard Teide-foothills training loop.

The medium mountain day from the southern resorts: a steady climb through San Miguel to Vilaflor, Spain's highest village, and a long flowing descent home. 63 km.
