Pico Ruivo Summit
Highlight • Summit
Madeira's highest mountain. It is very windy up here, but a great panorama if there are no clouds.

Ascent to Pico Ruivo
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
The ascent on the PR1 to Pico Ruivo leads through a heather forest, which was badly damaged by a fire years ago. Now countless broom bushes grow between the white skeletal trees and the place has a very special atmosphere.
