For 2027, the Défi sportif | tripvoyage.ca is heading to one destination: the Canary Islands.

The Canary Islands - April 17 to 25 2027

Imagine walking between volcanic mountains, dramatic cliffs, lush valleys, and landscapes shaped by volcanic activity… That is what awaits you in Tenerife and La Gomera for an 8-day trek in the heart of the Canary Islands.

In Tenerife, the trails will lead you from the rugged coast to the heart of the island, at an altitude of over 2,000 meters. You will discover the impressive volcanic terrain of Teide National Park, where the landscapes take on a lunar appearance and offer striking panoramas of the Atlantic Ocean.

On La Gomera, get ready for lush valleys, ancient forests, and the steep trails of Garajonay National Park. As the days go by, the scenery transforms, revealing pristine nature, from verdant mountains to the island's authentic villages.

This sports challenge is rated "moderate" (level 3), with 4 to 5 hours of walking per day and elevation gains of 400 to 600 meters. Good physical condition is required, but you don't need to be an elite athlete to join this journey. Preparation and regular training between now and the departure date are recommended.
