Overview
Tenerife is the ideal destination for those looking to improve their fitness and escape the colder weather during the off-season. The island is of course famous for the climb to Mount Teide, where you’ll find the majority of pro riders in June, as they fine-tune their fitness for the Tour de France.
But there’s a lot more to our cycling camp than just Teide. You’ll take the short ferry ride over to the neighbouring island of La Gomera for an absolutely incredible day of riding. Competing with La Gomera and Teide for the ride of the week is the breathtakingly beautiful cliff road to the village of Masca, an amazing ride that will no doubt claim it’s spot in your all-time Top 10 rides.
Join us for a week of phenomenal riding and return home with fantastic fitness and a killer cycling tan that will make you the envy of your local grupetto!

Itinerary Detail
Day 1
Distance
Elevation
Welcome to Tenerife!
Your Cycling Camp starts at Tenerife South Airport where our staff will meet you before the short transfer to the 5-star Palacio de Isora Hotel.
After lunch, orientation meeting and bike build-up, you’ll head out for your first ride in Tenerife, a gentle introduction to riding on the island with the 9km (6 miles) climb to Guia de Isora.
Day 2
Distance
Elevation
Mount Teide from Los Gigantes
The first of your long rides and no better way to kick things off than the climb to Mount Teide.
On todays climb to Teide you’ll take the western approach from Los Gigantes. From the hotel you have a 4.5km (3 miles) “warm-up” before arriving in Los Gigantes and the start of the climb to Teide. The summit lies 50km (31 miles) ahead at just over 2,300m (7,500ft). Continue over the top to Las Canadas, through the dramatic lava fields that lie in the shadow of the 3,700m (12,000ft) volcano. After a coffee-stop in Las Canadas it’s time to head back to the hotel and enjoy one of the longest descents ever!
Day 3
Distance
Elevation
The spectacular cliff road to Masca
Today you’ll head for the north shore of the island. The ride starts the same as the warm-up ride, with the climb to Guia de Isora but then continues climbing to the Alto de Arguayo and eventually to the Puerto de Erjos.
Enjoy the stunning views from the switchbacks on the descent from El Tanque which takes us to the North Shore of the island. You’ll ride along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean to Buenavista del Norte where the spectacular cliff road takes us through Masca to Santiago del Teide. This is one of the most impressive and dramatic roads you’ll ever ride, with incredible views of the Atlantic Ocean hundreds of metres below. Save something in the tank for the climb out of Masca, it’s unbelievably beautiful – but also unbelievably steep!
