The Teno Mountains

Distance
69 km
Elevation
2020 m
Difficulty
hard

Starting in Icod de los Vinos, this loop dives straight into the heart of the Teno Mountains. It’s a scenic ride through farmland, quiet villages, and shaded forest roads, with the Atlantic stretching out as you climb.

The switchbacks into Masca Valley are steep and dramatic, but absolutely worth it. From there, it’s a fast drop to Buenavista del Norte, with an option to spin out to the Faro de Teno lighthouse if you’re up for it. One final coastal climb hugs the sea before you roll back down into Icod.

You can also ride this loop the other way for a whole new set of views.
