Montaña Blanca trailhead parking (Teide ascent)

Highlight • Parking

The start takes place here for 99%. You should keep in mind that the cable car, if you come back down with it, is a good half hour away on foot - most of the time on asphalt. So I preferred to park near the cable car and found the walk to the entrance more pleasant than having to walk to the car on the street after completing the tour. Hitchhiking would also be an option. And who runs up and down again ...

Altavista Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Very good and easy double trail, around Montagna Blanka, leads you to a small openair restplace. Then a well maintained single zigzagging trail takes you fast up in the elevation. If you have to stop at every curve to enjoy the wiew wont judge you, ;) Sneaking among some lava eggs "Teide eggs" (unique lava mineral formations), you have made it to a cool rock scramble for a few hundreds of vertical meters before reaching the Refigio. Wow, the views.
Mt. Teide Permit is very important since it have to be obtained in advance! If you plan to stay overnight at the Refugio, the Permit comes with it for the day off, but reservation for the night is needed in advance. Both sunset and the sunrise are gorgeous from the top of the crater of Mt. Teide :D

View of Mount Teide

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is the bus stop where you can get off if you want to climb Mount Teide on the "short" route. The bus stops there if you request a stop. Coming from Puerto de la Cruz, it is the stop in front of the cable car
