Penas del Chache

Penas del Chache (Lanzarote)

The tour is one of the singletrail highlights of Lanzarote. The trail from the radar facility down to the surf beach of Fermada is a scenic experience with lots and lots of flow.

Description

From the beach of Fermada, the route follows the main road for a while, but after 2.3 kilometers you turn left onto a gravel road that climbs gently up to Teguise (360 meters above sea level). A detour to the picturesque village center is a must here! The ascent then continues on the asphalt road, even downhill for a while to get up to the radar facilities. The ascent adds up to 20 kilometers, but the facilities at around 630 meters above sea level are the culmination of the tour.

The path now rides directly along the steep cliff edge, never difficult but at times somewhat exposed. The section along the cliff edge with the view down to the dry plain, the deep blue sea and the bright white villages is an extraordinary scenic experience. You always follow the ridge until after Pico de Maramajo, at a dip on the right, the super trail down to the sea begins. This flowing S1 trail winds its way through the steep, rugged terrain as if perfectly designed for mountain bikers. It leads down to a gravel road, on which you reach the bungalow complexes of Farnara after a short time and the beach a little later.
