Mountain biking tips in Lanzarote:

  • It is recommended to use Tubeless tires due to the presence of volcanic rocky terrain and sand, where punctures are common if Tubeless is not used.
  • Respecting the environment is important: Lanzarote has been declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
  • It's not allowed to ascend to the summits of the volcanoes, but it's possible to go around them.
  • There are countless trails that can be explored, although they are not always well-marked. It's recommended to download routes from Strava or Wikiloc to avoid getting lost and to find the trails.
  • Try to start early in the morning if you plan to cover a route that takes several hours.
  • There is a route that is usually done in stages over 4 days and circumnavigates the entire island, covering approximately 260 kilometers, although some brave ones have completed it in a single long day.
  • In the northern part of the island, there are multiple options like circling the La Corona volcano, ascending the Mala dam (approximately 9 km with a 600-meter ascent), the Bosquecillo area if you're an Enduro enthusiast, or visiting the Ermita de las Nieves. For the more experienced, there is a spectacular descent from the Ermita de las Nieves to Famara, going down around the Maramajo ravine.
  • In the central area, there is a wide variety of trails or dirt tracks through the potato fields and vineyards of Tinajo.
  • The southern part of the island stands out for the network of trails in Los Ajaches: from Puerto del Carmen to Playa Blanca, passing through Playa Quemada. These are trails with ascents and descents along the coast of Lanzarote. However, this route is not recommended in summer due to potential heat.
