Altitude training is among the primary reasons why Tenerife is a famous sports place. This training style is often used for professional athletes and is usually directed at improving performance in outdoor sports. Tenerife's paths and trails are not only for climbers and runners, as well as for many adventurous cyclists who head off on their motorbikes to discover the paradise hidden amid the mountains, trees, and volcanic rock formations.
The Island provides ideal conditions for professional marathon runner training and practice in a spectacular environment. The most significant feature that encourages sports people is Tenerife's weather. Many famous athletes come here for rehabilitation to raise their energy levels and to rebound from injuries.
Sports tourism is an extra in Tenerife:
New Spanish High-Jump Champion, Simón Siverio from Tenerife, says “this new accomplishment celebrates the entire invisible practice, the hours spent practicing that no one sees.” He told us that he always practices outside because the weather plays a vital role in his fitness training. We have beautiful conditions in Tenerife for much of the year, which champions like Siverio reap the benefits of.
"There are other countries that aren't so 'lucky,' since they miss the hospitality service standard or the beautiful weather, and I agree that perhaps we should highlight that factor since the tourism side is a bonus for the Canary Islands." When asked what he loves most about training in the Canary Islands, the champion responds, "we have strong facilities, the weather is beautiful, and the services are fantastic."
