Climb to Santiago del Teide from Los Gigantes

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

This road that goes up from Los Gigantes has views of the sea and a very good surface, so it is just as suitable for going up as it is for going down.

Degollada de Cherfe

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Spectacular views of Masca, especially at sunset. From Masca you have to climb almost 500 meters, while from Santiago del Teide the climb becomes more bearable. Good surface and there are times that there is a cart that serves coffee.

The planned route to Punta de Teno unfortunately fell victim to the road closure, but the …

March 5, 2025,Tenerife Training Camp Day 6 - Masca loop

Drove to Tamaimo for the 3rd time (lucky!!) - hopped on the bike and warmed up on the 5 km climb to Santiago del Teide, which is one of my favourites!
Then over to Masca, which had some incredibly steep ramps (up and down!). A beautiful descend into Buenovista del Norte, filled up the bottles and then climbed towards Erjos, …
