Gran Canaria Walking Festival

The Gran Canaria Walking Festival is an international hiking event held every October on the island of Gran Canaria. Organized by Gran Canaria Natural & Active with the support of the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, it aims to promote the island as a destination for active, sustainable, and nature-based tourism.

Over several days, participants follow guided routes that cross spectacular landscapes, from mountains and ravines to coastal and rural areas, discovering the island’s natural and cultural wealth.

Each route includes expert guides, transportation, insurance, a picnic or local product tastings, and commemorative items. The trails, varying in level and theme, are designed for both experienced hikers and those seeking a peaceful nature experience. Beyond the sporting aspect, the festival also promotes awareness of Canarian heritage, traditional cuisine, and direct interaction with the local community.

Sport Hotel Monte Feliz – powered by Playitas is the perfect place to stay for an active experience during the Gran Canaria Walking Festival.
