4.8/5
32 reviews

This 9-hour hiking tour will take you to the central part of the island, near the highest peak of Gran Canaria – Pico de las Nieves (1957 m above sea level).

Here you'll be amazed by the view of the neighbouring Roque Nublo, the east and south coast of the island and, if the visibility is good, you'll be able to spot Pico de Teide (3718 m above sea level). Enjoy the panorama of the surrounding villages and discover rock formations and forests covered with Canary pine.

After hiking you'll have lunch at a local restaurant where you can try regional dishes such as the mojo and alioli sauces, the famous papas arrugadas and more.

Remember to bring:

  • Hiking shoes with a good grip are mandatory and will be checked by a guide before starting the trip
  • From October to March, the weather can vary more easily, and rainfalls are usually more frequent (trips during rainy days are generally avoided, but sometimes the weather can be a surprise). Warm clothing with long sleeves as well as long trousers and, just in case, a rain jacket which can also serve as a winds-topper are strongly recommended
  • Considering the fact that dinner in the restaurant is at about 3.30 pm and that everyone has individual preferences, you can take a light meal of your own, for example: fruits, energy bars, almonds, biscuits, sandwiches, etc.

    The walk scenic and not too challenging with good views on the peaks with the guide some information about the area and the vegetation without overwhelming with it. The meal looked ok but couldn't eat much due to a stomach upset. A good leg stretch after sitting around the pool for a few days

    Bergauf am Anfang sehr schnelles Lauftempo, das im Verlauf jedoch auch durch Pausen etwas reduziert wurde. Flexible Anpassung der Tourauswahl an Wetterverhältnisse ist sehr positiv zu bewerten. Auf Sicherheit der Wanderer wurde geachtet. Bezugnahme auf geographische Zusammenhänge und erlebbare Pflanzenwelt macht die Wanderung auch mit einem abschließenden kulinarischen Zusammensein zu einem ganzheitlichen, harmonisch stimmigen Urlaubserlebnis. Ich würde die Tour auf alle Fälle weiterempfehlen.

    Het hiken was erg leuk om te doen. De gids vertelde ons veel informatie. Dit deed hij op een enthousiaste manier. Tijdens het eten was het erg rumoerig. Het hiken is niet voor iedereen geschikt!

    De gids was vriendelijk en enthousiast. Mooie hike. De inbegreoen lunch was oke, maar zou niet een plek zijn waar ik zelf zou gaan eten. Op zich zou een optie met een iets langere pauze waarbij je eigen meegebracht eten kan nuttigen voor mij prima zijn, en ook weer goedkoper.

    Unser Guide war sehr engagiert, hatte eine polnische Gruppe und uns zwei Deutsche dabei. Hat alles neben polnisch ausführlich auf deutsch erklärt. Die Tour war der Hitze angepasst nicht zu anstrengend mit sehr vielen Aussichtspunkten. Immer wieder mit Aussicht zum Wahrzeichen Gran Canarias. Meine Frau hatte ihren Pulli im Bus vergessen und unser Guide hat ihn am nächsten Tag bei uns im Hotel abgegeben! Dafür nochmal herzlichen Dank LG Matthias
