Teleférico reopens after closure by bad weather

[Janet]

Assuming no changes in the weather, the Teleférico and the Refugio de Altavista will reopen this Sunday, 22 December. And, of course, the snow is still thick on the peak of Teide to make the whole experience even more fabulous. The Teleférico advised, however, that due to current conditions. the paths of Telesforo Bravo, Pico Viejo and la Fortaleza remain closed for safety reasons. The Montaña Blanca route itself is open, but walkers are advised not to use it due to its condition after the recent weather. For any information about these routes walkers are asked to call the Parque Nacional del Teide on 922 92 23 71 or by email to teide.maot@gobiernodecanarias.org. JA
