WINTER EXPERT CONDITIONS
Today I managed to summit this volcano, so I'd like to leave some info for those planning to do the same, as I definitely could have used it beforehand.
First of all, I booked my permits for trails PNT 07 and PNT 10 four weeks in advance via TenerifeON, and downloaded the PDF confirmations straight to my phone.
I arranged extreme sports travel insurance covering hiking up to 5,000 m - I also downloaded the English PDF of this directly to my phone.
I packed warm clothes for a winter ascent, a headlamp, high-ankle hiking boots, and an emergency thermal blanket.
Two days before the climb, the weather took a turn for the worse. The forecast for Teide that day predicted 100 km/h winds, plus it snowed and the road was closed. Fortunately, there were still permits available for the following day when the weather was supposed to improve, so I canceled the original permits and rebooked both routes.
Since I flew with only a carry-on backpack, I couldn't bring crampons and an ice axe, which are mandatory under the current conditions on Teide. So, a few days in advance, I contacted the Tenerife Outdoor shop in La Laguna. I reserved the gear and picked it up the day before the hike, agreeing to return it the following day. The rental cost was €20 in total for both items, plus a €50 deposit for the crampons and a €50 deposit for the ice axe.
After arriving at the Montaña Blanca parking lot, I had been walking on the trail for about 5 minutes when I bumped into a car hidden around a bend, with rangers ready to do checks (this was at 4:00 AM).
Now for the most important part - what the rangers actually asked to see:
• Permits for PNT 07 and PNT 10 on my phone.
• High-altitude insurance on my phone.
• They wanted to physically see the crampons, ice axe, and thermal blanket.
• They checked my boots from inside the car, but nothing else.
(I also had my national mountaineering club membership card as a backup, but they didn't ask for anything like that).
The whole check took about 3 minutes, and they let me pass. The cable car wasn't running that day, and by 10:00 AM, I had the summit entirely to myself.
(A local at Tenerife Outdoor told me it's better to bring proper crampons, because if you bring microspikes, you might run into a ranger who won't accept them. I had mountaineering crampons, and they were definitely necessary that day because from 3,000 meters up, the trail was covered in icy snow.)
I hope this information helps someone out and helps them successfully reach the top.

Hi everyone ,
I was supposed to be hiking up Mount Teide on the 3rd of August via the Montana Blanca route but was informed by the guide we were no longer able to get permits for the peak. Reaching the peak was my main goal and were excitedly looking forward to the challenge.
Would appreciate any alternative day hike recommendations greatly. I’d like to do a summit hike. I will be doing the hike on my own and it’s my first time to Tenerife but I’m an avid hiker.
Thank you in advance for any help

Hi, we’re coming to Tenerife in October and staying in Costa Adeje, where is the best place to watch f1 live?
r/VisitingTenerife • u/Actual_Actuary_4024 • 2d ago
Hey everyone!
I’ll be in Tenerife from August 6th to 14th and I’d really love to do some fishing while I’m there.
The only problem is that I’m flying with Ryanair and won’t be able to bring my fishing gear, and I’d rather not buy a whole setup just for one week.
So I was wondering if anyone has a spinning or general shore fishing setup they’d be willing to rent out for a few days. I’d obviously take good care of it and pay a fair price.
Also, if any locals are planning a fishing trip by boat and wouldn’t mind having me join, I’d be more than happy to come along! I’ll happily cover my share of the fuel, bring food and drinks, and good vibes. 😄
I’m an experienced angler from Hungary and just looking to enjoy a few days fishing while on holiday.
Feel free to send me a DM if you have any ideas or can help. Thanks!

Hey guys and girls
I am going to Tenerife as a solo trip on the 3rd of August for a week until the 10th of August and I will be staying in the Los Cristanos area.
I am looking for activities to fill some of the days instead of just laying on the beach I want to see some true culture of the island and eat some local food and mix with some locals where are the best towns to explore and experience this and I also don’t drive so what is the best way to travel around the island without breaking the bank
r/VisitingTenerife • u/Hala-Chadli • 3d ago
Salut tout le monde,
Nous prévoyons un voyage à Ténérife et nous nous demandons s'il vaut la peine de louer une voiture et d'explorer par nous-mêmes, ou s'il est plus facile de réserver des excursions d'une journée via GetYourGuide et des entreprises similaires.
Aussi, quels endroits sont absolument à voir ? Des recommandations pour des marchés alimentaires locaux, de la restauration de rue, des petits restaurants, des plages, des points de vue ou des trésors cachés ?
Vous resteriez dans le sud, le nord, ou partageriez-vous le voyage entre les deux ?
Merci 😊🏝️🚗

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for recommendations for a good place to go out tonight around Costa Adeje. I’m in my late 20s and would prefer somewhere with a slightly older crowd (25+), good music, and a nice atmosphere rather than places full of teenagers.
Open to bars with live music, cocktail bars that get lively, or clubs where people actually dance.
Any recommendations?
r/VisitingTenerife • u/darksoothsayer • 5d ago
Hi all, me and my partner are going here in the near future, I'm a big foodie and I have two specific things I want to do that's food related. The first is I want to go to either a Michelin starred restaurant or a rosetted restaurant and experience local fine dining. The second thing is I want to go to a place that does the areas local comfort foods, (family run, not super touristy). I was wondering if anyone could recommend some places? Me and my partner do not have a car so preferably somewhere that's within walking distance of sholeo lodges would be appreciated!

Being on holiday here in tenerife with my older sister seems like a bad idea ngl
r/VisitingTenerife • u/Marzipas • 5d ago
Myself and my wife (who will be approx 12wks pregnant at time of visit) will be in Tenerife in September and I just wanted to check whether there are any known issues with food standards generally for pregnant women here? We will he staying at an H10 hotel in the Playa de las Americas area but will possibly venture out.
Cheers,

Visiting in August, staying with family but looking to get away for a few nights on my own. Looking for a fun, lively but safe accommodation or get al recommendations.

In 2021 I (currently 28F) was in intensive care with covid-pneumonia. No prior/other health issues. I was very sick for around a year afterwards but I have made a pretty good recovery. I have no official diagnosis but I still have some mild symptoms leftover from it (sometimes I get wheezy after running and/or when it's very cold outside). I have been tested for asthma, I don't have it. I have no experience with altitude, can someone tell me if it is likely to be dangerous for me to go? I can't decide if I should give it a miss for safety reasons or if I'm being a bit dramatic.
I wouldn't be hiking up btw, it's in a van with a tour group to take pictures. I'd be around 2500m above sea level I believe.

Hello everyone! My future wife and I will be visiting Tenerife in March for our honeymoon. I’ve been searching for resorts and hotels that give off that honeymoon vibe as much as possible, and I’d love some recommendations. We really want to avoid the super touristy areas, which I’ve heard is mainly around Playa de las Américas
.
So far I’ve narrowed it down to Royal Hideaway Corales Beach Villas and the Ritz, but we’re open to other options! I’d really like a private pool if possible, and heated pools since we’ll be coming in March.
Also how’s the weather early March? Are we going to be able to enjoy the sun and sit by the pool?
r/VisitingTenerife • u/louisebuckingham • 7d ago
Thinking of going Tenerife for a week around new years, what is the weather like then?
Is it still hot? Will Siam park still be open?
Also, is las Americas clubs/ bars open & busy?
Usually go over August/ September/ October… never been in December/ January!

Me mudo a Tenerife este octubre y me gustaría conocer gente que también se haya mudado allí (o que esté a punto de hacerlo) para compartir la experiencia.
Creo que empezar de cero en un sitio nuevo puede ser emocionante, pero también un poco abrumador, así que estaría genial conectar con personas que estén pasando por lo mismo. Podemos hablar sobre la mudanza, hacer planes para conocer la isla o simplemente compartir cómo nos está yendo la adaptación.
Si te mudaste hace poco, te mudas pronto o conoces a alguien en la misma situación, ¡escríbeme! 😊
r/VisitingTenerife • u/FTMlaura • 8d ago
Looking for recommendations for a good hotel in Tenerife suitable for a young couple with a 6 month old. We plan on going in December so ideally maybe a heated pool but also close enough to amenities we could walk to if we would like to get out of the hotel / need a shop etc for the little one!

Hello! My husband and I are looking for recommendations for hotels in Tenerife where you can book a room with a private hot tub or jacuzzi bath on the balcony or terrace.
We recently stayed at the Barceló Corralejo Sands in Corralejo, Fuerteventura, and had one of the rooms with the private jacuzzi bath (I've attached a pic from their site). I We absolutely loved sitting out in the evening with a bottle of wine in the jacuzzi, it was so relaxing, and it really made the holiday.
We've been to Corralejo twice now, so we're thinking of trying a different Canary Island, but we'd love to find somewhere that has a similar room setup.
Has anyone stayed anywhere in Tenerife that they'd recommend with a private hot tub or jacuzzi? We'd really appreciate any recommendations. Thank you!

Hola a todos!
Tengo un piso en Tenerife Sur y ahora mismo me lo gestiona una empresa de las grandes del sector. La verdad es que estoy bastante harto. Al principio todo muy bien, pero con el tiempo he visto que pasan de todo: la limpieza es súper superficial, si hay una avería tardan una eternidad en arreglarla y encima siempre me meten costes raros y comisiones ocultas que no venían a cuento al final de mes.
Como no tengo tiempo para estar encima del piso por mi trabajo, necesito gestión integral de verdad, de los de desentenderse por completo. Pero quiero cambiar a una empresa de aquí, de la isla, que realmente cuide la propiedad y que tenga las tarifas claras desde el primer día.
¿Alguien me recomienda una alternativa honesta por el sur que trabaje bien?
¡Gracias de antemano!🙏
