La Palma – Mountain bike paradise

Mountain biking is one of the most popular sporting activities on La Palma, and for good reason. There are over 1,000 kilometers of hiking trails across the island, ideal for cycling, plus endless off-the-beaten-path opportunities. The local climate, never too hot or too cold, makes mountain biking an activity that can be practiced all year round on La Palma.

The enormous richness and variety of landscapes on La Palma are an invitation to explore every corner of the island, along trails of dazzling beauty through forests, around majestic mountains or volcanoes and downhill into peaceful valleys. Many of the routes pass through the Caminos Reales, which are ancient tracks that the Guanches used to move around the island centuries ago. Cycling on La Palma can be practiced at all levels of difficulty. In addition to hiking trails, road cyclists will be able to enjoy the well-developed road network, which will allow them to explore the entire island. Mountain bike fans will find volcanic tracks, secondary roads, flat terrain and forest routes, as well as mulateras.
