Explore routes in Tenerife →Tenerife: your next great challenge.
Tenerife is a favourite destination for European cyclists, thanks to its mild year-round climate, excellent roads and extraordinary variety of landscapes.
Legendary mountain passes above 2,000 m
One of Tenerife's most iconic landmarks is Mount Teide, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the highest mountain in Spain, with an altitude of 3,718 metres. The ancient inhabitants of the island, the Guanches, considered it a sacred place and called it Echeyde. Today, Mount Teide remains a popular destination for tourists and cyclists alike, offering stunning views and challenging climbs.
Iconic climbs and spectacular ravines
Another popular attraction in Tenerife is the town of Masca, located in the municipality of Buenavista del Norte. Surrounded by ravines and cliffs, Masca is known for its spectacular landscapes and rugged terrain. The Teno massif and the Los Gigantes cliffs offer stunning views over the Atlantic.
History, tradition and a gateway to the north
One of the Canary Islands’ oldest cities, San Cristóbal de La Laguna is a must for anyone interested in history. It was home to the Captaincy General of the Canary Islands for many years and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore its well-preserved historic centre, distinctive architecture, traditional Canarian food and welcoming local shops.
Ancient laurel forest and viewpoints over the Atlantic
Anaga, in the north-east of the island, has been a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2015. Deep ravines rise from the coast towards peaks over 1,000 metres high. It is also home to ancient laurel forest, a rare ecosystem found in only a few parts of the world.

Train where the pros train
Tenerife offers excellent conditions for high-level cycling throughout the year. Its altitude, steady temperatures and varied terrain make it an international training destination.
The proving ground for the world’s best riders
For years, leading professional riders have chosen Teide National Park for pre-season camps and altitude training. Teams such as Movistar Team, UAE Team Emirates and EF Education-EasyPost make the most of the island’s unusual geography: few places let you climb from sea level to more than 2,000 metres so quickly.
Eternal spring 365 days a year
Tenerife’s pleasant climate brings spring-like temperatures, sunshine, clear air and refreshing trade winds. It is also an island of contrasts: in spring, temperatures can average 20–25 °C while snow remains around Teide’s summit and the surrounding high ground at 2,000 metres.
Flavours of the island
Tenerife’s food brings together quality local ingredients, Atlantic traditions and traditional guachinches: local places to refuel after a demanding day in the saddle.
Grown in volcanic soil and served with spicy red mojo or green coriander mojo, these potatoes are a tasty way to replenish your energy during a ride.
A legacy of the indigenous Guanches, gofio escaldado combines toasted grain flour with fish or meat stock. It is a comforting, nourishing dish rooted in Canarian tradition.
Fresh, paprika-cured or smoked, local goat’s cheese pairs with island wine for a taste of Tenerife after your ride.
