  • Spot the highest peak of Gran Canaria, Pico de las Nieves

What to expect

The trail winds through the picturesque mountain landscapes of central Gran Canaria, near the summit of Pico de las Nieves (1,949 m above sea level). This unique route allows you to discover the island's untamed beauty, experience its mountain atmosphere, and admire spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and the ocean.

Along the way, you can enjoy extensive forests of Canary Island pine, dramatic mountain scenery, and the impressive silhouette of Roque Nublo (1,813 m above sea level), one of the island's most iconic landmarks. In favourable weather conditions, the trail also offers views of Gran Canaria's eastern and southern coastlines, as well as the majestic Teide volcano (3,718 m above sea level), rising on the neighbouring island of Tenerife.

This hike is an ideal choice for lovers of mountains, nature, and unforgettable scenery who want to explore one of the most picturesque parts of the island. After the hike, you'll enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, where you can sample regional specialities such as mojo and aioli sauces, the famous papas arrugadas, and other traditional dishes.
