DH, MTB and Gravel Trails in the Canary Islands

The Canary Islands offer a variety of downhill (DH), mountain bike (MTB) and gravel routes. Gran Canaria, known as “the continent in miniature”, has several MTB routes that include challenging climbs and descents, such as the route that starts in Puerto de las Nieves and passes through the Altos de Gáldar area and Roque Nublo.

For gravel fans, Lanzarote offers roads that are often sandy or with loose surfaces, ideal for this type of cycling.

La Graciosa, a smaller island, also has gravel routes that allow you to explore volcanic landscapes and paradisiacal beaches.

For DH, Tenerife is one of the most popular islands, with routes that include the climb of Teide, the highest volcano in Spain, and descents along scenic roads.

El Hierro, the youngest of the Canary Islands, offers MTB routes that pass through volcanic environments and offer spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean.
