Get ready to conquer Spain's highest peak, Mount Teide, as you navigate the winding roads that lead you to its majestic summit. As you ascend, you'll witness the transformation of the landscape, from lush forests to otherworldly volcanic terrain. Standing at the pinnacle, at an elevation of 3,718 meters (12,198 feet), you'll be rewarded with a panoramic view that stretches as far as the eye can see. 

But the challenge doesn't stop there. Explore the Anaga Mountains, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, as you tackle demanding routes that wind through verdant forests and reveal stunning coastal vistas. The mix of challenging climbs and exhilarating descents will test your skills and provide unforgettable moments of achievement. 

Prepare to be captivated by the legendary Masca Gorge, a natural wonder that will take your breath away. Navigate through hilly terrains, building anticipation with every pedal stroke, until you reach the village of Masca nestled amidst towering cliffs. 

Throughout your journey, you'll encounter charming towns like Garachico and Buenavista del Norte, each with its own unique allure. Explore their cobbled streets, discover historical landmarks, and immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of Tenerife. 

Pedal through the picturesque La Orotava Valley, where lush vineyards and banana plantations create a stunning backdrop. As you navigate the climbs and descents, you'll be rewarded with panoramic views that inspire and rejuvenate the soul. 

The Tenerife Road Climbing Challenge is not just about conquering epic peaks and experiencing thrilling descents—it's an opportunity to create unforgettable memories, forge new friendships, and push your boundaries in a stunning natural playground. Are you ready to embrace the challenge and unlock the extraordinary in Tenerife?

Our tours offer a range of difficulty levels to cater to your preferences. We have classified them into three categories: Leisurely, Moderate, and Challenging. The rating is determined based on the average day of the tour, which may feature varying levels of difficulty throughout the trip.


For those seeking a relaxed and picturesque experience, our Leisurely tours are perfect. They allow you to enjoy stunning landscapes at a comfortable pace, without the pressure of covering long distances or tackling demanding terrain. Typically, these tours cover 30-50 km per day, with an elevation gain of up to 500m. You'll have ample time to savor the views, relish local cuisine, and explore charming towns and villages along the way.


If you desire a balanced mix of scenic rides and a touch of challenge, our Moderate cycling tours are ideal. These tours typically cover 50-80 km per day, with an elevation gain of up to 1000m. You'll journey through beautiful countryside and charming villages, encountering a blend of flat and hilly terrain.

Our utmost commitment lies in finding the perfect match for you. We work closely with a range of accommodation providers that align with our standards, although their availability may vary, especially during peak seasons. Furthermore, we offer the ability to tailor your vacation according to your preferences and budget, ensuring we unearth the most suitable solution to meet your specific needs.

To secure your desired tour, we highly recommend booking early, particularly for popular tourist destinations with limited accommodation options. The most desirable choices are often reserved for the summer season even before spring arrives. By reserving in advance, you can ensure availability and secure the best options for your travel plans.

The ability to accommodate dietary restrictions depends on their severity and can vary in terms of ease. In Tenerife, vegetarian options are generally easier to find, while locating vegan dishes can pose more challenges, especially in rural areas or smaller towns. It's important to note that lunch stops often take place at traditional establishments, which may have limitations in fulfilling special requests beyond their standard menu offerings. It's crucial to consider this aspect when planning your trip.

For Tenerife, the optimal times for cycling tours typically fall in late winter (January) and early spring (March), taking into account the specific tour details. However, it's important to consider the region's weather conditions, as summer can also be suitable depending on the area, despite the potential for high temperatures.

As long as you dress appropriately, most tours can still proceed in light rain. It's important to note that during the summer months, afternoon thunderstorms are common, so it's advisable to begin the tour early. In case the weather forecast appears unfavorable, we can proactively make adjustments to the tour ahead of time to ensure a smooth experience.

Our tours can be tailored to any bike type, be it road, gravel, or mountain bike. We maintain regular communication with you to pinpoint the ideal conditions for your cycling holidays in Tenerife.


A gravel bike is the most adaptable choice, even if you're planning a road cycling holiday. It won't significantly impact your road performance while granting you access to some picturesque backroads that might be in a slightly poorer condition than the primary ones. A gravel bike tends to be more comfortable as well.


In any case, Tenerife is a highly diverse island with something to offer every cyclist. No matter the bike you choose, we will determine the perfect route for you to embark on during your cycling holidays.

This tour met and exceeded our expectations. It was certainly challenging cycling for seniors but most of us did it all seven days. Scenery and culture of the islands was glorious. Guide and crew was superb!

I did the Slovenian Tour of Champions cycling trip in June 2025. An absolutely fantastic trip! I had never been to Slovenia before and the places we went were absolutely stunning! Our guide, Blaž, and his crew were very thoughtful and encouraging throughout. The climbs were tough — several that were 8-10 mile climbs at average 7-10% grade that took me over an hour (and sometimes over 90 minutes) of continuous climbing. But the landscape made each climb worth it! Tina did a great job on pre-trip communications and chose outstanding boutique hotels and restaurants for each location. This is a smaller operation as compared to a Backroads-type company, but I’m very glad I went with them. We had a very small group of cyclists (4 Americans and 1 Australian), and everyone was super nice and got along well. The routes were well-chosen and we saw many of the top areas you’d want to see on a trip to Slovenia (Lake Bled, Lake Bohinj, Triglav National Forest, etc.). Highly recommended!
