      Standing on the summit of Pico Ruivo, you'll be on the roof of Madeira, enjoying a breathtaking 360° panorama of mountains, valleys, and – on a clear day – the sea. Clouds often drift below, creating truly dramatic lighting effects. Bundle up and take advantage of the moment for a longer break at the summit.
