Cycling in Lanzarote


The lack of high peaks makes it ‘almost’ easy to explore Lanzarote on a bicycle. Also for this environment preserving sport and in order to promote ‘cycle tourism’, the regional government set up the Plan de Rutas Cicloturísticas (literally ‘plan of cycle tourism routes’), comprising a series of defined routes and trails for enthusiastic cyclists to enjoy their sport to the full extent.


Cycling is a popular activity on Lanzarote. The demanding terrain and consistent year-round climate provide perfect practice and training conditions for amateurs and professionals alike. As the island hosts each year the ‘Lanzarote Ironman’, an international triathlon competition considered the most attractive European triathlon event, you will regularly see many international athletes training on Lanzarote’s challenging hills.


There are several companies offering guided cycling excursions and cycle hire, supplying you also with a special map and specific information, most of which can be found in Arrecife, Costa Teguise and Puerto del Carmen.


If you feel energetic and you want to do something for your fitness, get the ‘Lanzarote feel’ on a bike!
