There will be different difficulty levels in the routes, from the amateur level to advanced level. Local guides will lead us in each route in the whole event: Summit route, Artevigua route, Laurisilva route, Water route, Astronomical Night route and Aboriginal route; all of them are suited to the most sybaritic hikers’ demands.

The Pico de las Nieves, the Parque Rural de Doramas, the Finca de Osorio, the Cruz de Tejeda or the Fortaleza de Ansite are just some of all the places that you can visit in Gran Canaria. Registration is open at www.grancanariawalkingfestival.com, where you can choose either one of the 6 routes, all the Walking Festival 2016 or a weekend pack.

The aim of the Gran Canaria Walking Festival is to show and invite all of you to enjoy the surprising nature of the island, which includes endless possibilities to practice this sport and offers one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.
