New Year’s Eve hiking in sunny climes

Unspoiled nature and unique vegetation await you on El Hierro – formerly known as the end of the world. So far, the small Canary Island has been spared from mass tourism and therefore offers a breathtaking backdrop to switch off and enjoy the silence.

The three and a half to six-hour hikes require a certain level of fitness. The efforts are rewarded with spectacular views and extraordinary landscapes.

By the way: on the hikes you traverse four whole vegetation zones…off you go on a hiking trip on El Hierro!

Breathtaking scenery with black mountains, red sand and steep cliffs characterise the hike on the ‘fire island’. In addition to the volcanic rock, Lanzarote is shaped by Canarian architecture. The artist César Manrique created beautiful paintings and sculptures of the landscape.

During the tours, you spend between two and three hours on the trails every day. The routes are easy to manage with a bit of basic fitness. The many vineyards are perfect for taking a short rest.
