Your guided climb to Teide summit with your own private guide begins at Montaña Blanca at 2,320 m.

What can you expect from this route to the Teide crater?

  • You’ll begin the route on paths of pumice stone and lava; a low gradient ascending walk that lasts an hour and a half.
  • The path narrows and a there’s a slight incline before you reach the Altavista Refuge at 3,260 m.
  • There you will take a rest to eat and let your bodies adapt to the pressure and climate.
  • You will continue on paths of solidified lava until you reach the Teide Cable Car station (3,550 m).
  • You will behold some spectacular views of the Teide National Park and the island of Tenerife from the cable car upper station.

The climax of your epic ascent on foot to the peak of Teide with your own private guide is the final stretch to the Teide crater.

The ascent will be much harder but the reward will be worth it.

Important information:

  • Please be aware that the reservation of this activity will be pending confirmation until Volcano Teide have issued named access passes to the crater.
  • In the event that Volcano Teide are unable to confirm the activity, they will offer you an alternative date or a refund of the amount paid.
  • It is necessary to present your ID or passport at the point of access to the trail leading to the crater.
  • In the event that the path to the peak is closed, Teide National Park staff may permit access only to mountaineers belonging to a federation who can provide sufficient proof of their ability, and who are appropriately equipped. It is the individual’s responsibility to ensure that they possess the appropriate documentation and equipment, therefore the absence of either exempts Volcano Teide from any liability.

Cancelations and changes:

  • In the event that it is not possible to carry out the activity due to adverse weather conditions or the closure of one of the trails we usually walk during this hiking activity, Volcano Teide will cancel your hike to Teide and give you a refund of the amount paid.
  • In case the weather conditions do not allow the operation of the cable car, the visit to the National Park will be made in an alternative hike. The difference between the price of the exclusive Teide Tour and the ascent to the VIP peak will be refunded. Up to a maximum of 2 people will be charged 115€ per person and 31€ for each additional person. The difference paid will be refunded. 
  • In case the cable car is operational but the ascent path to the peak is closed, the visit to the National Park will be carried out with a cable car ascent to La Rambleta and an alternative hike. Up to a maximum of 2 people will be charged 147'50€ per person and 73€ for each additional person. The difference paid will be refunded. 
  • If the cable car cannot be used to descend on the day of the activity due to adverse weather conditions, Volcano Teide will offer you two alternative options: descent on foot from the peak to the starting point of the Montaña Blanca trail or a shorter walk up to the Refuge only, without accessing the crater, and then descent on foot down the Montaña Blanca.
  • In the event of the onset of poor weather conditions during the hike, the guide will decide whether to continue the ascent to the peak or cancel it.
  • Cancellations are not admitted once the reservation is confirmed.

 

Since this activity includes a permit to access the crater, we do not admit cancellations once the reservation is confirmed. This is due to the way the National Park’s permit issuing system works.
