Description
Teide 360 is a long‑distance, non‑competitive cycling challenge that proposes a complete loop around Mount Teide in a single stage, offering a unique endurance experience in the heart of Tenerife. Recognised by the UCI, the event combines physical challenge, self‑management and respect for the natural environment in one of Europe’s most striking volcanic landscapes.
The route starts and finishes in Vilaflor de Chasna, the highest village in Spain, and takes riders across forest tracks, volcanic terrain and mountain roads that showcase the island’s remarkable diversity. Covering approximately 130 km with more than 3,700 metres of elevation gain, the main distance is designed for experienced cyclists, while alternative formats allow participation according to different skill levels and preferences, including MTB, gravel and e‑bike options.
Ridden under a semi‑self‑sufficiency format, Teide 360 encourages participants to manage their own pace, nutrition and effort, supported by strategically placed aid stations and safety controls. The event is known for its challenging profile, constant elevation changes and the sense of accomplishment that comes with completing a full circuit around Tenerife’s most iconic summit.
More than just a cycling challenge, Teide 360 offers an immersive way to discover Tenerife from a different perspective, blending sport, landscape and island culture. It has become a reference event for cyclists seeking a demanding but memorable experience in a destination renowned for outdoor sport and year‑round riding conditions.
Where to stay
Teide 360 starts and finishes in Vilaflor de Chasna, Spain’s highest village, and the ride begins early. Sleeping in or close to the village the night before means a short, calm walk or transfer to the start line, an easy bib collection and none of the pre-dawn mountain driving. After 130 km and more than 3,700 metres of climbing, a bed (and ideally a pool or spa) close to the finish is just as welcome.
Hotel Alta Montaña – Vilaflor, in the village (under 1 km from the start). A rural hotel among fruit trees and vineyards with sea views, a restaurant, and a bar with a chill-out terrace for sunset. It lists bike rental and repair tools and supplies, so a last-minute adjustment before the start can be sorted without leaving the village. Staying here is as close to the line as you can get.
Hotel Ecolife Tenerife – San Miguel de Abona, about 7 km from the start. A sustainability-minded three-star hotel with a tool workshop, bicycle parking, bike rental and a menu for athletes, plus route information and a daily weather forecast. The gym, pool and spa suit tired legs on the evening after the loop.
Regency Torviscas Apartments Suites – Costa Adeje, about 12 km from the start. Self-catering apartments with secure bike storage, a bike wash and maintenance facilities, plus a heated pool, jacuzzi, gym and spa. Bikes can be delivered to the hotel and e-bikes rented, handy for companions who prefer a gentler day out.
Hotel Baobab Suites – Costa Adeje, about 12 km from the start. A five-star suite hotel with a sports club, fitness area, physiotherapy, laundry, lockers and indoor trainers, and sports nutrition on sale. Its heated pools and wellness centre make it the most indulgent recovery option here.
Gran Oasis Resort – Arona, about 13 km from the start. A four-star Silver-certified resort of 200 suites set in gardens, with a bike workshop and tools, bike wash, mechanical aid and indoor trainers. Massage and treatments are on hand for recovery, and the hotel’s own cycling routes help with warm-up rides.
