ABOUT THE TRIP
Between the sea, volcanic rock and Pico del Teide, Tenerife reveals an astonishing variety of climbing worlds in a very small area.
8 days · Tenerife
Tenerife is a gem for sport climbing enthusiasts. The island has a relatively young climbing history, and especially in recent years a group of motivated locals have developed the island’s incredibly varied and dreamlike climbing areas.
From climbing directly above the roaring sea to a crag at over 2,000 metres at the foot of Spain’s highest mountain, Pico del Teide, it has it all. The summit acts like a watershed, dividing the island into a lush green north and a dry south with cacti and hardy shrubs, giving this relatively small island two completely different faces and an almost unbelievable diversity – both in terms of landscape and climbing.
So much for Tenerife being just an island for retirees. Anyone who enjoys being outdoors, appreciates good rock and wants to discover very different climbing areas in the space of a week will quickly realise that the island offers far more than beaches and package holidays. It is exactly this mix that makes the trip so exciting.

PROGRAM
Day 1: Arrival in Tenerife
We meet directly on Tenerife at Tenerife South Airport. We coordinate the flights together, and We are also happy to help with the booking. As soon as everyone has arrived, we pick up a rental car, which we will use over the coming days. Our first destination is the Teneriffa Climbing House in Arico in the southern part of the island. Here we settle in for a total of four nights. Over dinner together, we put together a well-balanced programme for the next few days to match your climbing level and your wishes.
Day 2-3: Climbing in the south
Around Arico there are many wonderful and varied climbing areas that we will visit on our first two climbing days. We work intensively on climbing technique and on everything else that matters in climbing. And of course we climb for as long as our strength lasts. In the evenings, we wind down together over dinner in the cosy atmosphere of the Teneriffa Climbing House.
Day 4: Exploring the east of the island
After that, it is time for a rest day, on which we explore some of the island and its truly beautiful landscapes. There is no shortage of options – exactly where we go depends on what we feel like. We also change accommodation. This way, we not only get to know new corners of the island, but are also well positioned for the next few days in the other part of the island.
Day 5: Climbing in the north
We dedicate the fifth day to the climbing opportunities in the northern part of the island. Here too there are many interesting options, so the real challenge is choosing. The character of the areas differs noticeably from the south, and that is exactly what makes this trip so appealing: in just a few days we see very different sides of Tenerife – both in landscape and in climbing style.
Day 6: Pico del Teide
An absolute highlight is the ascent of Pico del Teide, Spain’s highest mountain, which is also responsible for the formation of the entire island. The volcano offers magnificent scenery and wide panoramas across the island and over to the surrounding Canary Islands.
Day 7: Another climbing day
The seventh day gives us another opportunity to visit one of the excellent crags in the northern part of the island or the wonderful crag at the foot of Pico del Teide, and to mobilise the last of our strength and skin reserves. Most of the time, this is exactly the day when people climb especially well once again – with a little more routine, a little more feel for the rock, and often also with a clear sense of what they personally feel like doing.
Day 8: Departure
Then the eighth and final day on Tenerife has already arrived. But we certainly won’t leave the island without many powerful memories of this Canary Island, unfairly labelled as an island for retirees. With new confidence and fresh climbing impulses, saying goodbye is usually not all that easy – and the next climbing goals back home are often already taking shape in our minds.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - (FAQs)
Who is the climbing trip to Tenerife suitable for?
The trip is suitable for anyone who wants to get to know different areas on Tenerife. Since we adapt the programme to the group’s level and wishes, there is plenty of scope for suitable objectives and a coherent itinerary.
What should I bring for the trip?
You will receive the exact packing list with the confirmation email. Most important are your personal climbing items such as climbing shoes and harness. Missing equipment can be rented from Südtirolalpin for a small wear fee.
Is the ascent of Pico del Teide a fixed part of the week?
Yes, Pico del Teide is planned as a special programme highlight. However, exactly how the day is organised depends on the tour choice, the conditions and the group. This keeps the trip flexible and allows us to structure the week sensibly.
