View of Roque Nublo and Teide

Highlight • Viewpoint

Roque Nublo is the remains of a once much higher stratovolcano. The formation of this volcano began about 4.2 to 4.6 mya with thick mafic lava flows that overlaid the eroded remains of an earlier Miocene volcano and extended up to 20 km to the coast. The eruptions continued for about 1.5 million years, with the rock produced progressively changing to trachyte and phonolite about 3.9 mya. The now more explosive eruptions in the summit area produced breccia-like ignimbrite deposits until the eruptions ended about 3 mya due to the intrusion of phonolithic vent plugs. The total volume of the volcano complex is estimated at 200 km³, the height of the volcano was at least 2500 m, but possibly well over 3000 m. Since then the volcano has been subject to severe erosion. Rock deposits from huge landslides can be found up to 25 km away. The summit rock of Roque Nublo, a former plug of a volcanic vent, was subject to erosion to a lesser extent than the softer surrounding rock due to its harder basalt breccia and was thus preserved as a hardened rock.

Pico de las Nieves summit

Highlight • Summit

With its height of 1949 meters, the Pico de las Nieves is the highest point of Gran Canaria. And as a racing cyclist, you can not help but climb it. On the one hand, this is simply part of a racing bike holiday on the island, on the other hand, due to the conical shape of the island, all roads lead to Pico de las Nieves anyway.

Sometimes there is even snow up here, so the summit has its name. Very often it is definitely quite fresh here, pack the windbreaker. Often it is also very cloudy. If you're lucky, the cloud cover is below you, making the view even more spectacular. But it also happens that you are standing up here in a gray cloud soup.

View of Roque Nublo and Mount Teide

Highlight • Viewpoint

In Gran Canaria, this highest point is the hill where the Mirador del Pico de Las Nieves viewpoint is located. It is located in the centre of the island at an altitude of 1,949 metres. From here you can see far across the island, which has been declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. Its deep gorges full of vegetation and enigmatic rock formations are a real feast for the eyes.

Very beautiful pleasure tour on the roof of Gran Canaria, the Pico de las Nieves with almost 2000 m altitude and the surrounding pine forests. In between, fantastic panoramic views into the island's interior and even to the neighboring island of Tenerife.
