You don’t often see Teide like this.
Completely covered in snow… and from the air, it looks like a different island altogether.
Not Your Usual View
The footage came from a Binter flight, shared by Spain’s air traffic controllers.
Shot from above, you can see the whole of Mount Teide blanketed in white… standing out against the rest of the island, which is mostly clear.
It’s one of those views that doesn’t quite match what people expect from Tenerife.
Rare… But Not Impossible
Snow on Teide does happen.
Just not that often… and even less so in a way that looks this clean and dramatic.
From the ground, you might catch bits of it.
From the air, you see the full picture… and that’s where it really stands out.
The Weather Behind It
This all came off the back of Storm Therese.
Plenty of rain across the islands, a bit of disruption… and up at altitude, the right conditions for snow.
Bit of a trade-off really.
Not great if you’re dealing with the rain… but it does give you scenes like this.
One of Those Tenerife Moments
It’s easy to forget how varied the island actually is.
You’ve got people sat in the sun down south… while up there, it looks like the Alps.
Same island.
If You Catch It…
These moments don’t hang around for long.
The snow usually disappears as quickly as it arrives.
So if you do catch Teide like this… whether from the air or up close…
It’s worth taking a second look.
Worth Seeing
It’s not the Tenerife most people picture… which is exactly why it stands out.
