Volcano Teide
Volcano Teide is the brand of Teleférico del Pico del Teide, S.A., the company that runs the cable car that rises from the 2,356 m base station to the 3,555 m of La Rambleta. As well as cable-car tickets, it sells excursions in the Teide National Park, stargazing sessions with Starlight guides and guided visits to the Teide Observatory, at Izaña. Its office is in the centre of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, but all its activities start in the park.
How it works
Everything is booked on its website, with day and time. On the cable car only the ascent has a fixed time: you must be there 20 minutes beforehand and the descent is in order of arrival. Changes and cancellations are free until 18:00 the day before. If the weather or a breakdown delays your ascent by at least 90 minutes, you can ask for a refund of the tickets you have not used. Stargazing sessions can be changed or cancelled at no cost up to 24 hours beforehand, and are refunded if the sky does not allow observation.
