The Teide climb from the south is a bucket-list ascent through pine forest into high-altitude lava fields with unforgettable views.

Long steady grades with sections over 8%. Altitude and weather change quickly above 2,000 m.

Wide roads but exposed to wind and cold. Can be closed or icy in winter at altitude — check conditions.

Vilaflor village, Chío, Teide National Park viewpoints.

Compact gearing essential; many riders use 34t and still walk short pitches in fatigue.

Very early start recommended. Afternoon clouds and wind are common on the upper mountain.

Fit riders training for sportives or altitude camps. Allow a full day with food and layers.
