What To Expect
Experience an unforgettable night adventure as you ascend the mighty Mount Teide under a blanket of stars. Guided by headlamps, you'll journey through the surreal volcanic landscapes of Teide National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage site. The higher you climb, the more the silence of the night intensifies each step, with volcanic gravel crunching beneath your boots. Above, a canopy of stars lights your path, offering quiet encouragement on your way to Spain’s highest point. Reaching the summit at 3,718 meters is no small feat. Starting around 1 AM (exact time depends on sunrise), this demanding 6 to 6.5-hour hike covers 10 kilometers with an elevation gain of 1,380 meters — a true test of stamina and spirit. As dawn nears, the sky transforms. Shades of gold and crimson spill across the horizon, illuminating the Atlantic and the volcanic terrain below. In this magical moment, Teide casts its legendary triangular shadow — the longest on Earth — across a sea of clouds. What will take your breath away more — the sunrise or Teide’s colossal shadow stretching to the edge of the world? That’s for you to decide.

5.00It was a fantastic adventure. Starting in the dark. Clear starry sky. Rising sun on the slope. And an epic finish at the top of Mount Teide. Truly magical. Led by guide Peter who gave all kinds of information about what we encountered along the way. Very nice guy. In short. A great hike. For the experienced runner a huge recommendation.
Well run trip - worth a sleepless night

5.00Elena has organized such a great tour for the whole team! She had supplied us with all the necessary equipment, even provided some extra pieces of clothes and warm tea 😃 The tour was greatly timed, so that we’ve seen the sunrise and the Teide shadow without waiting 😍 she also cared for the state of the hikers and motivated during each break, creating a team spirit 😃 such a great experience!

5.00The climb was challenging but Elena took care of us every step of the way! She provided gear for anyone that needed it and also shared snacks, tea and hot cocoa with all of us. She made sure we made it to the summit just in time for sunrise while still stopping several times for pictures when light started to appear in the horizon. The views at the top were so beautiful, definitely worth the effort! The cable car wasn't working so we had to climb the whole way down (the worst part!) but, despite being very tired, it was still a fun experience and we had lots of laughs! Highly recommend!
