No, you can only climb to the summit (“Pico del Teide”) with a permit, since there is a limit on the number of people allowed to enter per day.
The entire route from La Rambleta to the Peak is a highly vulnerable area and is very sensitive to human activity. It is therefore necessary to control access and activities in the area to protect it.
The activity tracker is designed to help you enjoy outdoor leisure activities in Tenerife even more.
By being able to save the details of your trips, you can remember what you have done and when, you can try to beat your own times or even share them with your circle of friends and family.
So, the more activities you record, the more information you will have stored about your achievements and adventures.
At Tenerife On we do our best to keep the information on each facility always up to date.
So if for any reason there are changes in the restrictions of use, these will be reflected both in the information file and in the general list of alerts and warnings.
Therefore, we recommend that you consult the information on the facility before you visit or carry out an activity.
The route planner is a Tenerife On tool that allows you to combine several trails.
You can use it to plan a new, made-to-measure route, using the Tenerife Island Council’s network of trails but choosing your own start and finish and waypoints.
If it is viable, the tool will give you the option to create that route and obtain the information you need to do it, including the track and the descriptions of the different combined routes.
With the Tenerife ON route planner you can create a personalised hiking route from the network of trails included in this platform, without ever having to leave the network.
To create your route and save it in the app, follow these simple steps:
1. Log in
If you want to save your planned route, you first need to log in to the app with your username and password, either when you open the app or from the main menu.
.
Still don’t have a Tenerife ON account? You can create one in the app in less than a minute.
2. Go to the route planner
After logging in, access the planner from the main menu or from the button on the interactive map.
3. Choose your activity
To indicate what type of route you want to plan (hiking, cycling, horse riding or motor vehicle), tap on the “Method of travel” drop-down menu and tap on the corresponding icon.
In the following example you can see the “Hiking” option selected.
4. Select a start and end point
Now, tap on the field marked “Start point” and tap on the point on the map where you would like to start, always on the lines that mark the available routes.
You will see an orange marker appear at the chosen spot.
To confirm, tap on “Include in route”».
Then tap on “End point” and tap on the point on the map where you would like to end the route. Again, make sure you choose a spot on one of the tracks shown on the map, all of which are connected to the starting point.
You will see a new orange marker appear at the chosen spot. To confirm, tap again on “Include in route”.
After this step you will be able to see the route you have planned on the map, from the start point in blue to the end point in red, and if you scroll down the page, the routes it includes, its profile, distance, elevation gain and estimated duration.
5. Add waypoints (optional)
Already have the route you were looking for? Then go directly to step 7.
Do you want to add stops or changes to the route proposed by the planner? Then tap on “+ Add point” and tap on the place on the map where you would like the route to pass through, as long as it is on one of the available routes.
You will see a new orange marker appear on the interactive map. To confirm, tap again on “Include in route”. The route will then be updated to include that location.
Remember that you can add as many waypoints as you wish to your route.
6. Turn your route into a loop (optional)
Already have the customised route you wanted? Then go directly to step 7.
Do you want to create a circular route that starts and ends at the same point? Then tick the box “Same start and end point (circular route)”.
You will see that the planner recalculates your route to be circular.
Bear in mind, however, that in most cases the only option to return to the start of the route will be to use the same trail that you started on. Use the waypoints to extend or reduce the length of your route as you wish.
7. Save your route
Already have the personalised route you wanted? Then click on “Save the route” and give it the name of your choice.
You can now view and follow this track whenever you want in My Profile - My Routes, which you can access from the main menu of the app.
