Tenerife is ideal for cycling all year round. This is due to the mild climate. In spring and autumn the temperatures are most pleasant and the weather is stable.
The cycling season is from October to May. Then Tenerife is the perfect destination to escape the winter in your own countries. The temperatures in Tenerife are ideal for cycling!
During the winter months it is also certainly excellent for cycling, but then it can be a bit colder in the mountains, although you don't feel it in bright sunshine. Keep in mind that you adapt your clothing a bit and mainly have warm clothing for the descents at high altitude. On the coast it always stays around 22 degrees.
July and August are less suitable for longer rides or longer climbs because it can get very hot like everywhere in Europe and the chance of calima is high. Calima is warm, dry air with dust from the Sahara.
Please note that the south and north of the island are completely different.You can read more about this in our blog: “Discover the difference: North Tenerife vs. South Tenerife”
