Seven volcanic islands. One of the most varied dual sport playgrounds in Europe — with a year-round riding season.
DESTINATION
Canary Islands
Why ride here
The Canary Islands sit off the coast of Africa, an hour’s flight apart, each one a different landscape. In a single trip you can move from black-sand desert to laurel forest, from 3,700 m volcanic peaks to salt flats — without losing a riding day to weather. That’s what makes this archipelago unusual: the variety is compressed, the season doesn’t close, and the terrain is genuinely off the beaten track for European riders.
Volcanic terrain
Lava fields, calderas, barrancos and coastal stone tracks you won’t find on mainland routes.
Year-round season
Subtropical climate, 18–26 °C in winter. Prime riding runs October through April.
Variety compressed
Seven islands, each with its own character. Ride one deeply or connect several in one expedition.
Quiet side-roads
Step off the tourist coasts and the mountain passes and interior tracks are mostly empty.
Island by island
Our current focus is Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura — the two islands where routes are scouted, bikes are ready, and the support framework is in place. Other islands are in scouting or development. We’ll open them as soon as they meet the same standard.
Gran Canaria
Available
The most varied island. Pine forests around the central massif, sharp barrancos, mountain roads like the GC-200, the Tamadaba range, dirt tracks into the interior and long coastal runs. Best for riders who want density of terrain in a short trip.
Fuerteventura
Available
Flat, open, and desert-feeling. Long off-road tracks along the east coast, volcanic cinder cones, salt flats and remote beaches. A more beginner-friendly pace and a bigger sense of space.
Tenerife
Currently scouting
The biggest island, dominated by Teide (3,718 m — Spain’s highest peak). Dense forest roads on the north slopes; strict protection inside the national park. We’re building routes that respect those limits.
Lanzarote
Currently scouting
Moon-like terrain of recent lava fields. Timanfaya itself is off-limits — riding happens around it, through cinder tracks and coastal loops.
La Palma
In development
Steep, green, laurel forests and a central crater. A different climate and feel from the eastern islands.
La Gomera
In development
Small, remote, thickly forested in the middle. Narrow winding passes rather than long-distance trails.
El Hierro
Coming next
The smallest and most isolated island. Raw volcanic landscape, quiet, end-of-the-world feel.
Responsible riding
We ride scouted, legal routes. National parks and protected zones are respected. Riders are briefed before they leave — so nobody learns those limits the hard way.
