1. Pico de las Nieves

A course of less than 30 km seems easy, doesn’t it? But when you collect more than 1,800 meters of vertical height with 23% slopes, it gets complicated. One of the stages of the Gran Canaria Bike Week which takes place on a timescale.

2. Ayagaures

The ascent of Monte León in Ayagaures, with a visit to its reservoir, is another must route if you are visiting Gran Canaria.

Gran Canaria also has very interesting MTB routes. But … to practice only on authorized trails. A route to enjoy spectacular views between the cliffs and vegetation of Tamadaba Natural Park.

On this route, which starts at Mogán, a symbolic city of cycling and triathlon in Gran Canaria, we will add more than 2000 meters in height on a route between the hairpin bends and the dams of the island.
