Hiking tours

From Villa Vital you can explore the unique landscape of Fuerteventura. Together with the rest of the group you will make a nice hike every day. Sabine and/or Pascal will accompany you.
One day you will walk a longer trip (3 – 4 hours) or two short routes, the other day a bit shorter (1 – 2 hours). This leaves enough time to relax by the pool.
Enjoy the beautiful views in the middle of the mountain landscape around Betancuria. Here you sometimes meet a few other hikers, usually no one. Of course we visit Betancuria itself, a beautiful town with beautiful buildings.
In the afternoon, we have lunch at a typical Spanish, local restaurant.

Biking tours

Together with other cyclists, you will explore the beautiful, hilly interior, the paths along the (rugged) west coast and small, typically Spanish villages. The routes range from 35 to about 60 km and involve both quiet, paved roads and simple unpaved paths. During the cycling tours, the emphasis is on enjoying the scenery. So stopping now and then to take photos is absolutely no problem.
Here on Fuerteventura, few roads / paths are really flat, often it is false flat up / down and occasionally longer climbs of about 5%, with short stretches that can be steeper.
In the afternoon, we enjoy a traditional Spanish lunch in one of the small villages. Several times we try to have lunch in the same restaurant as the walkers, which is nice.
Pascal cycles along as a guide.

Practical information (hikes)

For most hikes, we first drive a short distance by car. We do this with our own cars. This makes us very flexible in terms of departure and arrival times. Fortunately, there are never any traffic jams on Fuerteventura :-).

We walk the routes ‘as a group’, obviously taking into account any differences in pace. Sabine comes along as a guide.

Before or after the hike, we have lunch at a local restaurant. Over time, we have found some good, affordable restaurants ourselves where you can enjoy local delicacies.

Heaviness of the hikes

All hikes have been carefully selected and walked by ourselves. They are suitable for anyone with a
A single hike sometimes has a more challenging part, but it is never dangerous! Most walks are in hilly terrain, the number of altimeters is maximum about 600 m.
A small backpack or waist bag
Good sturdy hiking or sports shoes with a profile are sufficient. Heavy mountain boots are not necessary.

Practical information (bike rides)

We cycle the tours as a group. On (longer) climbs, everyone cycles his/her own pace and we gather at the top again. The climbs are rarely very steep (> 6%).

Count on an average cycling speed of 20 km/h (paved roads) and 15 km/h (unpaved paths), excluding stops. The terrain is continuously (slightly) up and down, often paved but also partly unpaved.

Motorists are obliged to leave at least 1.5 m between their car and you as a cyclist. They really stick to this ???? So even on the through roads, you can cycle safely without being pushed off the road!

About the bike

During the cycling days, you will have a good bike at your disposal. This can be used both as a touring bike (on the road) and as a mountain bike (off-road). Regular or SPD pedals can be fitted to the bike.

Would you rather ride a (mountain) e-bike? That is also possible! If so, please fill this in on the booking form. Surcharge depends on availability from various providers.

If you have your own helmet, please bring it along to make sure it fits properly. Otherwise, you can use a helmet from us free of charge.

What participants say …

“We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Vital.
We had booked a walking and cycling package with 2 extra days before and after our package. Our motto was: The moment! If you let it pass, it is gone forever.
Pascal and Sabine are genuinely interested and always willing to think along. We really liked the combination of being active and lazing by the pool or beach.
The guidance during the walking and cycling tours was perfect and was combined with good conversations and snacks and drinks along the way and upon returning home.
In the evening, we got to enjoy a delicious salad and Sabine’s famous desserts.
We look back on a successful holiday that we can recommend to everyone.
If you want some extra relaxation in addition to an active holiday, then do as we did and book some extra days before and after your holiday.
Greetings Ingrid and Ada”.

Just few days back from a very nice holiday with Pascal and Sabine of Villa Vital. They have a Beautiful villa with all the trimmings such as a swimming pool, sauna, a yoga room and large spacious rooms.
Being outside all day every day during activities, in the evening a nice fresh meal salad with desserts made by Sabine herself. Mmmm how delicious these were. Sabine and Pascal know the island like the back of their hand and took us to beautiful places where we went hiking. The cycling tours were run by Pascal, these were quite tough for me but what a super beautiful area.
I am definitely thinking of going back again but for the GR long-distance hikes on the island.
For those who love hiking and/or an adventurous bike ride on a beautiful island, Villa Vital is definitely recommended. And you don’t have to think about what you eat, because that is nicely taken care of.”
