What equipment do I need to ascend the Teide? What do I have to attend to?
The Teide tour is the highlight of every hiking week.
You should wear sturdy hiking boots that enable you to steady walking. Your clothes should adjust to possibly changing weather conditions in the mountains. The temperature at the starting point is often far beyond 20 degree Celsius whilst near the summit it is shortly above the frost line.
Good outdoor shops offer adequate weatherproof and breathable hiking clothes (underwear, fleece, jackets, trousers and headgear). A small backpack to carry water (will be provided), a sandwich (will be provided too) and other useful implements is advisable. Additionally a pulse measurement tool would be ideal to control yourself.
