Booking option: Trekking to Pico del Teide at sunrise

We take you up to 3,718 metres on foot. A very special highlight and an extreme adventure on a holiday in Tenerife. Over a total length of 10 km, you will climb about 1500 metres in about 5.5 hours - and will be rewarded with a unique sunrise on the Pico del Teide, Spain's highest mountain. At 2.00 a.m. we leave at the starting point at 2250 meters. From there you will hike to Pico del Teide within the next few hours. The experienced guide will brief each participant before the tour and accompany the group (approx. 3 - 8 participants), so that each individual reaches his destination depending on the form of the day.

Arrived at about 3260 meters above sea level, relax in the mountain hut on the Pico del Teide from the sportive hike, before you walk the remaining about 2 hours to the summit of the Teide to experience the sunrise from the roof of the sky over the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy the incredible view of all of Tenerife and the surrounding Canary Islands as well as the spectacular shade cast by the giant volcano Teide at sunrise. The descent of 10 km is easy and relaxed compared to the ascent - the ride by cable car (not included in the price) is possible when you have reached your performance limit, but you may also manage this last stretch on foot and reward yourself with a view of the impressive "Cueva de Hielo" ice cave.

After the hike, each participant receives a certificate documenting his time and the weather conditions (snow, ice, wind).

Detailed description

Sunrise on the Teide: Trekking in Tenerife for experienced hikers

A very special hiking tour on Tenerife is the Teide hike at sunrise, which is suitable for experienced hikers with good physical condition. The Pico del Teide hike starts at about 2200 meters at night, so that you hike under the spectacular starry sky of Tenerife to the highest mountain of Spain. Observe the stars as you climb about 1500 meters in about 4 to 5.5 hours and trek at about 3718 meters. The professional hiking guide not only shows you the best way to Pico del Teide, but also entertains you with all kinds of exciting information during the Teide hike at sunrise.

At 3260 metres above sea level, there is a mountain hut where you can relax from your hike up the Teide. Afterwards you will cover the last 500 vertical meters within about 2 hours until you reach the summit of the Teide shortly before sunrise. When you reach the top at 3718 meters, you experience how the darkness of the starry night slowly gives way to the golden light. Enjoy the beautiful sunrise on the Teide, which you have earned with the hike. The Pico del Teide casts a gigantic shadow at sunrise - a unique sight! Look forward to the breathtaking views from the Teide over all of Tenerife and the other Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean.

After the beautiful sunrise on the Teide, you can either walk back to the starting point, stopping at the Cueva del Hielo (ice cave) of the Teide, or take the cable car (not included in the price). In addition to the unforgettable experience of climbing the Teide, you will also receive a certificate of this sporting adventure.

Challenging trek with stunning sunrise views from Pico del Teide

This trek was a demanding but rewarding experience. The guide was knowledgeable and ensured everyone was prepared for the hike. Starting at 2 AM was tough, but the starry sky was incredible. Reaching the summit just in time for sunrise was breathtaking, offering views of Tenerife and beyond. The descent was much easier, and the optional cable car was a nice touch. A must-do for fit hikers, but make sure to bring plenty of water and snacks!

Epic sunrise trek up Pico del Teide

I recently embarked on the sunrise trek to Pico del Teide, and it was an unforgettable experience! The hike was challenging, but the guide was fantastic and made sure everyone was safe and informed. Reaching the summit just as the sun rose was breathtaking, with stunning views of Tenerife and the Canary Islands. The descent was much easier, and I opted to walk instead of taking the cable car. A certificate at the end was a nice touch. Remember to bring enough water and a camera for the views!

An unforgettable adventure on the Teide

My trip with my friend to Pico del Teide at sunrise was an unforgettable experience. The professional guide was very informative and made sure we were safe and well prepared. The climb was challenging, but the breathtaking views and spectacular sunrise made up for the effort. The organisation was excellent, but a transfer to the starting point would be desirable. All in all, a wonderful adventure!

Ein unvergessliches Abenteuer am Teide

Meine Reise mit meinem Freund zum Pico del Teide bei Sonnenaufgang war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Der professionelle Führer war sehr informativ und sorgte dafür, dass wir sicher und gut vorbereitet waren. Der Aufstieg war anspruchsvoll, aber die atemberaubende Aussicht und der spektakuläre Sonnenaufgang entschädigten für die Anstrengung. Die Organisation war hervorragend, jedoch wäre ein Transfer zum Startpunkt wünschenswert. Insgesamt ein wunderbares Abenteuer!

Unique Teide experience at sunrise

My experience with the sunrise hike to Pico del Teide was impressive. The organisation was good and the guide was very professional. The view from the summit at sunrise was simply breathtaking. The hike is demanding and requires a good level of fitness, but it is well worth the effort. One small downside was that the cable car fare was not included. All in all, an unforgettable adventure!

Einzigartiges Teide-Erlebnis bei Sonnenaufgang

Meine Erfahrung mit der Sonnenaufgangswanderung zum Pico del Teide war beeindruckend. Die Organisation war gut und der Guide war sehr professionell. Die Aussicht vom Gipfel bei Sonnenaufgang war einfach atemberaubend. Die Wanderung ist anspruchsvoll und erfordert eine gute Kondition, aber die Mühe lohnt sich. Ein kleiner Minuspunkt war, dass der Seilbahnpreis nicht inkludiert war. Insgesamt ein unvergessliches Abenteuer!
