Why we recommend it
It is how you get up there without walking. With children it is the only realistic option above 3,000 metres.

Parque Nacional del Teide
Declared on 22 January 1954 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007. It covers 18,990 ha and Teide, at 3,718 m, is Spain's highest peak. Icod de los Vinos is one of the twelve municipalities with land inside the park.
Sendero PNT 07 Montaña Blanca – La Rambleta
The walk up Teide: 8.29 km from the TF-21 to La Rambleta, 1,309 m of accumulated climb and a finish above 3,500 m. This is the route for anyone who would rather not depend on the cable car, and since 2026 it carries a fee too.
Sendero PNT 09 Teide – Pico Viejo – Narices del Teide
The Narices del Teide traverse: 9.61 km along the rim of Pico Viejo, the vent that opened in the 1798 eruption. It needs a permit like the park's other high trails, but the official page publishes no fee.
