If we had to choose one place to climb, Tenerife is the destination. The island will challenge you to cycle up Mount Teide’s jet black slopes, and dare you to speed down its hair raising descents. Masca Valley will thrill you with its tight hairpins and the ride to Punto del Teno on the north east coast is one of the most dramatic we've ever ridden. Tenerife is the home of climbing for road cyclists. #Ridefurther with Love Velo.

The island is named the Island of Eternal Spring such is its temperate climbing. Whether you’re chasing winter sun or late autumn or early Spring warmth, Tenerife is the perfect cycling holiday destination.

Mount Teide Ride the Legendary Volcano

Mt Teide dominates the skyline. We are talking a 50km unbroken climb from the coast to the crater, probably the toughest continuous climb that we’ve ever experienced. We know every banana plantation hairpin, every ‘mirador’ to lookout over the Atlantic, and every piece of jet black tarmac that your wheels will zip over on these thrilling descents. That’s why we’ve put together the best guides for riding Teide via Guia de Isora, the western ascent, via Vilaflor, from the south west or from El Medano in the far south.

Masca Valley Experience 'The Wall'

Tenerife isn't all about Teide though. The Masca valley offers some of the most breathtaking riding anywhere in Europe with the road down to the Punta de Teno lighthouse being sure to thrill.

There are 3 routes up from the south west starting in Los Cristianos, Adeje, and El Medano. Each route not only challenges your endurance and skill but also captivates you with the dramatic evolution of Tenerife's landscapes, from sun-kissed shores to the moonlike terrain near the summit.

South Western Ascent From Los Cristianos

Embarking from Los Cristianos, your journey transitions from a lively beach town to tranquil pine forests as you enter Teide National Park, revealing a stark, volcanic landscape that contrasts sharply with the journey's beginning.

From Adeje, you will navigate through picturesque Canarian villages and terraced banana plantations, climbing towards Teide National Park with the Atlantic and La Gomera island as your backdrop. This climb through changing landscapes culminates in the raw, volcanic beauty of Tenerife and there's no better lookout than the Mirador de los Poleos.

Southern Ascent From El Medano

Setting out from El Medano presents a formidable climb, with eastern winds and open landscapes challenging your determination. This route showcases Tenerife's volcanic essence over around 50 kilometers, transitioning from azure seas to dark, lava-strewn terrains and into the surreal surroundings of Mt. Teide.
