MTB Route in La Palma

A bike route along the volcanoes

Just a few kilometres but well maximised, this route goes along forest tracks. This volcano route made for bicycle starts at the recreational area in the Pilar shelter, in the centre of La Palma. This is the start of a circular tour on tracks of volcanic sand which approaches Cumbre Vieja on both sides. You will more than likely be able to see how the sea of clouds form on its slopes, a sight to behold in this natural park which divides the southern half of the island.

35 kilometres around Cumbre Vieja

The route starts on the western face of Cumbre Vieja, which has a gentler outline, which allows the cyclist to warm up while contemplating the sea on one side and the volcanic cones majestically lined up on the other. An ideal time to take a photo before returning, this time along the eastern side of the slope, where the contour is tougher and a 14 kilometre climb is in store. Undoubtedly a short mountain bike route to be enjoyed at any time of the year.
