Czego się spodziewać
This is a dramatic, high-altitude mountain climb on La Gomera along the GM-1, scaling the massive terraced walls of Valle Gran Rey up to the quiet mountain village of Arure
The character of the road is defined by its vertical ascent, tight hairpins, and stunning architectural harmony. Climbing straight out of the warm coastal valley, the route passes rock-carved tunnels and the famous Mirador del Palmarejo designed by César Manrique, offering sweeping bird’s-eye views over agricultural terraces and the Atlantic Ocean before reaching the misty high plateau near Garajonay National Park
A technical, torque-demanding ascent that takes you through extreme microclimate shifts in under 30 minutes. Be mindful of tourist buses on tight switchbacks, watch for sudden mountain mist near the top, and experience the journey on a rally-inspired dual-sport machine like the 2025 Yamaha Tenere 700
