At 1949 meters above sea level, the Pico de las Nieves is the second highest point on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria . The summit is on the tip of an extinct volcano in the sparsely populated interior of the island. In winter this elevation is sometimes covered with snow, which is what gave it its name.
Traditionally it was assumed that the Pico de las Nieves is the highest point on the island of Gran Canaria, but this is the Morro de la Agujereada at 1956 meters, which is next to the Pico de las Nieves.
The peak falls in the eastern parish of Tejeda .
