Our walk grading guide, helping you to understand the difficulty and levels of fitness required on our walks.
All of our walking holidays are graded to give you an indication of their difficulty and level of fitness required. Tenerife is a mountainous island characterised by valleys and ridges rising to high mountain plateaus and 3,700m peaks. Most walks are on trails and footpaths which can be rocky and steep in places, but offer spectacular views and stunning scenery.
The increasing difficulty of our walks from Easy to Challenging generally reflect and increasing level of stamina and fitness rather than technical ability. On some moderate or challenging walks a short easy scramble may be required to reach a summit, but the bulk of the walk tends to remain on established paths and trails.
