Pico de las Nieves - Road bike excursion on Gran Canaria

Pico Challenge, the supreme cycling adventure on Gran Canaria

Conquer the island, riding from sea level to the highest point. This road cycling tour starts in Playa del Inglés. We head northward, aiming for San Bartolomé de Tirajana. The ascent begins with the exhilarating climb to the Degollada de las Yeguas lookout point, at 474 meters above sea level. After a thrilling descent into the valley, we face another climb through the picturesque village of Fataga all the way to the height of Tunte at 900 meters. Continuing our adventure, we traverse San Bartolomé de Tirajana, explore the charming town, and venture on to Cruz Grande, ultimately reaching the village of Ayacata.

Here, we stand at an impressive altitude of over 1300 meters, ready to make the final push to the summit, soaring to 1949 meters. Along the way, we'll admire the iconic monolith of Roque Nublo and journey through enchanting pine forests, savouring the breathtaking vistas from Pico de las Nieves. Once we get out full of the view from the top, we start our descent towards the coast. The route meanders through volcanic craters and quaint mountain villages, eventually leading us to the town of Ingenio, where an exhilarating descent awaits. We then turn right, heading back to Playa del Inglés, with the wind often at our backs, providing a welcome boost.
