Montaña Blanca

Tenerife 2004, Montaña Blanca

Montaña Blanca is a mountain next to Mount Teide with an elevation of 2,750 metres.

The hiking trail starts at a tourist information centre and goes right across a sparsely vegetated mountain landscape, past the Huevos del Teide, to the summit. The hike was scheduled for 4 3/4 hours, but it took us quite a bit longer because the thin mountain air makes hiking more difficult. However, the view from the summit made up for the exertion. And if you still have plenty of energy reserves, you can climb Mount Teide itself from Montaña Blanca. 😉
