Las Lajas – Jama-Trail

Jama-Trail (Teneriffa)

The Jama Trail is the only specific MTB infrastructure on Tenerife. Built by and for mountain bikers, the trail can be extended to create a great tour with plenty of Elevation loss.

Description

The tour begins with a bus ride from Costa Adeje to Teide National Park. The starting point of the descent is the Las Lajas camping and picnic area at 2100 meters above sea level. A short climb leads to the Montaña de Las Lajas, where the downhill trail begins. This varied trail (S2) runs through a dry, open pine forest and ends just below the picturesque village of Vilaflor (1450 meters above sea level). The village would also be an alternative starting point, as many locals do.

The Jama Trail, a route specially built for mountain bikers, begins below Vilaflor. This trail is in the solid S2/S3 range and offers numerous built jumps, all of which can be ridden around without any problems. There are also some short S4 sections, but these are clearly visible. The trail meanders seemingly endlessly through the rugged, dry bush landscape, offering spectacular views of the coastal region time and again. The Jama Trail ends at the first houses of Valle de San Lorenzo.

From Valle de San Lorenzo, you climb up to Arona on an asphalt road and continue the trail fun here on routes usually used by locals. The trail starts just below the village: long, flowing sections lead through the dry, rugged landscape and once again offer plenty of riding fun. The trail ends in the region of the hospital, where the final section of the tour runs along wider paths. Finally, you cross the main road into the sea of houses of Costa Adeje and return to the starting point.

Note: In Tenerife, driving on the official hiking routes is prohibited. The. However, the ban is consistently ignored by local mountain bikers. It is advisable to avoid the weekends because that is when many locals are out and about. It is the responsibility of each individual to ride this route on a mountain bike, with full awareness of the legal situation.
