TF-21 Vilaflor km 60
Hike 52: Sombrero de Chasna/peak
Behind Vilaflor at km 60 we park the car at the roadside and walk up the slope to the right, coming from Vilaflor. After a short while a path (our return path) branches off to the left. We stay on the main path and start the loop from the right. We climb gently up to the Sombrero de Chasna saddle. The last part on the slope is a bit slippery. Uphill you have more control and so it is easy to manage.
We reach the path to the summit. It is easy, only on the last metres some boulders have to be climbed. But you don't have to climb and in dry weather the path is very passable. On the summit plateau we have a clear view of the Teide and the south coast. The way back is on the same summit path.
Then we keep to the right and take the main path past a rock formation. Here, walk exactly according to the GPS instructions, as the path in the slope is not always clearly recognisable. This path leads us back to the fork, where we descend to the right back to the starting point.
A detailed description of the route and the GPS track can be found in the Hiking Guide Tenerife.
