Day alternative to public transport Mount Teide Tour with cable car tickets This day excursion with an official guide includes (optional) tickets for the cable car, so that if you book the option with cable car included, when you arrive at the National Park, you can enjoy a wonderful ride up the slopes of the volcano before setting off along one of the free access trails from La Rambleta: the trail that leads to the Pico Viejo viewpoint and the trail that takes you to La Fortaleza. Spectacular panoramic views are waiting for you at the end of both trails. From the Pico Viejo viewpoint you can see the island of La Gomera and, further away across the vast Atlantic Ocean, the islands of El Hierro and La Palma.
