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

      From the highest mountain of Madeira, the Pico Ruivo, you have a magnificent view 🤩😍

        If you are staying in Madeira, you should definitely hike to Pico Ruivo when the weather is good, the views are gigantic! For more alpine tours, the hike from the Encumeada Pass to the Pico Ruivo is ideal. We hiked it in February 2017, absolutely fantastic!



        However, depending on the season, you should pay attention to the temperature differences at altitude; it can happen that people are splashing in the sea in Funchal, while the temperatures in the mountains are freezing (at least at night). In the morning we found puddles still frozen over.
