Pico de las Nieves summit

Highlight • Summit

With its height of 1949 meters, the Pico de las Nieves is the highest point of Gran Canaria. And as a racing cyclist, you can not help but climb it. On the one hand, this is simply part of a racing bike holiday on the island, on the other hand, due to the conical shape of the island, all roads lead to Pico de las Nieves anyway.

Sometimes there is even snow up here, so the summit has its name. Very often it is definitely quite fresh here, pack the windbreaker. Often it is also very cloudy. If you're lucky, the cloud cover is below you, making the view even more spectacular. But it also happens that you are standing up here in a gray cloud soup.

View of Roque Nublo

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Roque Nublo was important as a sacred mountain in the time of the Canarians. They had built a place of worship here where sacrifices were made to the sun god. In folk songs such as the Sombra del Nublo (Shadow of the Cloud Rock), the rock still has great significance today.

Radar Station at Pico de las Nieves

Highlight • Monument

The entire area of the Pico de Las Nieves is owned by the Spanish Army (Fuerzas Armadas de España), so there are many radar and telecommunications systems.
