The staircase to Pico Ruivo winds its way up the slope in numerous steps, noticeably gaining altitude. As your thighs work, breathtaking views of the valleys and surrounding mountain ridges repeatedly open up. It's the perfect section to climb at your own pace and prepare yourself for the panoramic view from the summit.
