Gran Fondo Pico de las Nieves

Gran Canaria Bike Week kicks off on November 29th with its signature cycling event, an exhilarating journey through the island's most breathtaking scenery. Accredited by UCI, this race is not just about speed but also offers cyclists a chance to explore Gran Canaria’s iconic landscapes.
The main route starts in Arucas and leads participants up to Pico de las Nieves, one of the highest peaks on the island. Cyclists will navigate through challenging terrain that tests both physical endurance and technical skills. The climb is steep and demanding, rewarding those who make it with stunning views from atop this legendary peak.
For less experienced cyclists or those looking for a more manageable distance, there's an alternative route starting in Artenara. This shorter option still captures the essence of Gran Canaria’s beauty while providing a gentler challenge that allows riders to enjoy the ride without feeling overwhelmed by the steep climbs and high altitudes.
Both routes offer unique insights into the island’s diverse terrain and culture, making this event not just about competition but also an exploration of nature. Cyclists can expect clear skies and warm temperatures as they pedal through lush forests, past picturesque villages, and along winding roads that wind their way up to breathtaking vistas.
This is more than a race; it's an experience for cyclists who want to immerse themselves in the beauty and spirit of Gran Canaria while pushing their limits on two wheels.
