This enduro route leaves from the Vega of San Mateo, at 850m altitude, inside Gran Canaria. We will do the entire climb along the main road of big cave, using some fairly steep cuts. If climbing is not your thing and you prefer to pedal more, but with less gradient, continue along the main road until the Las Nieves Peak. Below we give you all the details so you can do the route on your own.
Enduro route from San Mateo to Pico de Las Nieves
The route begins in San Mateo, going up to one of the highest points on the island after having climbed approximately a few 1.100 meters of positive slope. The descent begins from the Heliport, to do the famous descent of Siete Fuentes. It is quite broken by the passage of Enduro motorcycles, so requires a medium-high technical level. After passing through a track between the houses of Camaretas, we will begin the mythical descent of San Mateo (Camaretas). Very fast and with some fun gradient changes. You will also find cuts on the sides of the road if you want to have some fun.
