Video Cable Car on Tenerife showcases how the Teleférico captivates everyone, drawing countless visitors with its magnetic allure.
That’s why millions of tourists ascend every year to visit this ultimate crown jewel at higher altitudes. You need to smell it, feel it, and touch it to truly satisfy your senses. However, the literal and figurative highlight awaits at the very top.
The easiest way to reach it is by taking the cable car. In less than ten minutes, the cable car takes you from 2,356 meters above sea level to just below the peak of Mount Teide. It stops at the La Rambleta station, situated at 3,555 meters altitude and just 163 meters away from the absolute summit.
The cable car spans a length of 2,482 meters and transports up to 35 passengers per gondola at a speed of 8 meters per second (28.8 km/h). The elevation gain of 1,199 meters is something you’ll feel in your ears as you ascend.
When visiting Las Cañadas and taking a trip on the cable car, always bring appropriate warm clothing and sturdy footwear, even in summer. At high altitudes, the sun and light are much stronger, so ensure you have good sunglasses and sunscreen, and always carry enough water. Keep in mind that the high altitude and thin air can be challenging for those with heart or respiratory issues.
Here’s a recommendation: if you’re in Tenerife, you must take the cable car to the top at least once. It’s a literally and figuratively breathtaking journey you’ll remember for the rest of your life.
