8 min read
Do you need a permit?
Yes, if you want to reach the summit crater (Pico del Teide) on foot from Montaña Blanca or via the upper cable car station. Without a permit you can still visit the national park and use the cable car to La Rambleta.
Official booking window
Permits release on the official Reservas Parques Nacionales website. They sell out weeks ahead in peak season. Set a calendar reminder and book the moment your dates open.
Easier option: guided tours
Many operators include park access, transport and stargazing without you managing permits separately. Compare sunset and astronomy tours if the summit hike isn't essential.
