Roque Nublo & Pico de las Nieves Gran Canaria’s Highest Points
🏞 Roque Nublo (1,813m)
One of the island’s most famous landmarks, this volcanic rock formation offers incredible views after a short (1.5 km) hike. It was once a sacred site for the indigenous Guanche people. On clear days, you can see Mount Teide in Tenerife.

A short drive from Roque Nublo, this is Gran Canaria’s highest peak. You’ll get 360° views of the island, including Roque Nublo and the deep ravines of the Caldera de Tejeda. Unlike Roque Nublo, you can drive almost to the top.
