About Teide Cable Car
The Teide Cable Car is run by Teleférico del Pico del Teide, S.A., which also sells guided visits to the Teide Observatory and walks on the volcano (its site). The path to the very summit needs a permit from the national park, booked in advance.
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Teide Cable Car before you go.
