Pico Areeiro to Pico Ruivo: guided hiking tour

The mountain tour on Madeira – hiking above the clouds to the island's highest peak
Experience one of the most impressive hikes in Europe and discover the fascinating mountain landscape of Madeira on the legendary Pico Arieiro – Pico Ruivo hike (PR1). This guided tour takes you through mountain landscapes, along mountain paths, through rock-cut stairs, tunnels, and breathtaking vantage points – a real highlight for hiking enthusiasts and nature lovers.

The drive to Pico do Arieiro, the third-highest peak in Madeira at an altitude of 1,818 meters, is an experience in itself. After your convenient pick-up from your accommodation, the tour begins in the midst of the island's majestic mountains. As soon as you get out, an unforgettable panorama opens up before you: in clear weather, you look out over a seemingly endless sea of clouds, from which the rugged peaks of Madeira rise like islands – a magical moment and the perfect start to this unique hiking adventure.

The famous PR1 hike from Pico Arieiro to Pico Ruivo is considered one of the most beautiful mountain hikes in Portugal. The trail leads over spectacular high-altitude paths with constantly changing views of deep valleys, rugged rock formations, steep mountain slopes, and the wild nature of Madeira. Along the way, you will pass narrow mountain paths, impressive rock steps, tunnels, and numerous vantage points that continually open up new perspectives on the imposing mountain landscape.

A very special highlight of this tour is reaching Pico Ruivo, the highest peak in Madeira at 1,862 meters. Here, you can expect an incomparable 360-degree panoramic view of the entire island, the sea, and – in good conditions – a spectacular sea of clouds beneath your feet. It is the perfect spot for unforgettable photos and moments that will stay with you for a long time.

After this unique summit experience, the hike continues towards Achada do Teixeira, where your tour ends in a relaxed manner and your return transport is already waiting for you.
