Cable Car: Ticket for the descent

Cable Car tickets

Up to 3 date changes within a maximum of 1 year are permitted.

No charges shall apply to requests for modification or cancellation of reservations for the Cable Car that are motivated by the closure thereof due to weather conditions. You can change the time or date, or cancel your ticket free of charge until 6.00pm on the day prior to the reserved date. Once this period has elapsed, or if the reservation is made after 6.00pm on the previous day, changes will not be accepted, and in the event of a cancellation, customers will be charged the full cost of the booking. Check our Terms and conditions for information on other reasons for cancellation.

All changes and cancellations of Cable Car tickets can be made comfortably via our booking management module. 

Since the operation of the Cable Car is subject to the changing weather (wind speed, temperature, etc.), on occasions, the estimated boarding time may be delayed. If the closure of the facilities due to adverse weather conditions or technical reasons causes a delay of at least 90 minutes in relation to the booked time, the full refund of the amount may be requested free of charge provided that the tickets have not been used.

Teide Cable Car facilities are perfectly equipped, including a shop, a café and a waiting room with Wi-Fi, among others, so that you can enjoy while you stay here.

The base station

The Teide Cable Car base station is perfectly accessible by road and is located at 2,356 m above sea level.

Its modern facilities are equipped with two cabins that travel to the top in under 8 minutes and can hold a maximum of 44 passengers, although for the comfort of our customers, we usually do not take more than 37 people on board.

The views from the base station allow you to behold the spectacular peaks surrounding the Teide volcano.

The base station offers visitors a relaxation area, café and buffet restaurant with impressive views over Teide National Park as well as a souvenir shop and public toilets. This is also the perfect place to find out about the different routes and trails you can do from the upper station.

The upper station

The Teide Cable Car upper station is the starting point ofthree spectacular trails at the summit of Mount Teide, which are directly accessible from a small hall from where you can walk outside. It has Wi-Fi, toilets and the highest public telephone in all of Spain.

Although there is not a café in the upper station, you will have vending machines at your disposal with drinks and non-perishable food such as snacks.

We recommend that you come prepared for all weather conditions since the upper station is at an altitude of 3,555 m.

Parking

Avoid the car. Choose collective transportation. It is important that together we do what we can to counteract overuse of the vehicle parking areas in the National Park. As a conservation measure, they have been kept to a small size, and they cannot be extended. If you finally decide to arrive by car, please do so after 1.00pm.

The Teide Cable Car base station has a free car park with 220 parking spaces.

Outside these hours, the car park is closed and the entry and exit of vehicles is not allowed.

Shops

The base station’s facilities include an information centre and a shop.

Restaurant / Café

The base station offers visitors a relaxation area, café and buffet restaurant with impressive views over Teide National Park.

Toilets

There are public toilets at both the base station and the upper station, which remain open during the opening hours of the facilities.
