Refugio de la Punta de los Roques In any case, the ascent to the nearby Punta de los Roques, 2085 m, is worthwhile and offers us a unique view of the Cumbrecita as well as the caldera and its surroundings - however, only experienced mountain hikers should venture to this summit.

Two-day tour over the highest mountain range on the islandThis circular hike over the Caldera Ridge, which takes at least two full days, can be described without exaggeration as the most outstanding tour on the island: No fewer than seven peaks are taken on the Great Caldera Circuit. However, it requires a very good level of fitness and alpine experience. As there is no shelter available for overnight stays, the tour should only be undertaken in the summer months. A night under perhaps the clearest starry sky in Europe, in the immediate vicinity of the observatories, and the fantastic views over large parts of the island, but especially down into the caldera - these are the highlights of this tour of force.

    Eine schöne, aber wirklich auch anstrengende Tour! Es geht durch mehrere Barrancos und daher meist bergauf und bergab über mehr oder weniger Steile Pfade. Die wenigen Passagen über Fahrwege nimmt man dankend als Erholungspausen an. Es gibt wirklich tolle Ausblicke und auch der Abstecher zum Meer im letzten Barranco lohnt wirklich. Uns hat die Tour sehr gut gefallen!

    Top. Das war in unserer Wanderwoche die fünfte Tour. "traumhaft" trifft es. Wir hatten Glück und das Wetter hat mitgespielt. Eine Wahnsinns Aussicht. Es geht abwechselnd auf und ab so dass sich die Steigungen nicht allzu anstrengend anfühlen. Es war jedoch bisschen frisch. Eventuell sollte man eine lange Outdoorhose und Jacke einpacken. Wer nach La Palma kommt sollte meiner Meinung nach unbedingt diese Tour machen. Vielleicht lohnt sich bei klarem Nachthimmel auch ein Abstecher dorthin. Kann mir gut vorstellen dass der Nachthimmel grandios ist.
