ポルトガルのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

ハイキングに適した駐車場で、まだ手頃な駐車料金です。頂上まで車で行くこともできますが、そこでは駐車料金が倍になり、駐車時間は1時間のみです

Breathtaking views from the hiking trail. Fortunately, ropes are attached to the boundary posts, which many hikers gladly use. Whether going uphill or downhill, they simply provide a sense of security.

This viewpoint is also worth seeing for sunrise. However, the path from the parking lot at Rio Arieiro to the start of the Ninho da Manta trail was completely icy when we were there. It only became passable once the sun thawed the ice.

Today, in the rain and fog, these gnarled old trees looked truly mystical. Only the fairies didn't make an appearance in the rain.

Parking is limited directly at the cable car station. However, parking is available on one side of the steep access road.

The section of the Levada do Caldeirão trail between the cliffs leads you close to vertical walls, often offering spectacular views down into the valley. The gentle murmur of the levada accompanies you, while above you, rocks and vegetation form an almost tunnel-like effect – a true sense of adventure is guaranteed. Take care on the narrow, sometimes wet path and enjoy the unique photo opportunities along the way.

From the saddle in Madeira Natural Park, the view opens up far across rugged mountains, deep valleys, and, depending on the weather, all the way to the coast. Clouds often drift across the slopes, creating constantly changing light. It's the perfect spot for a breather, a few photos, and a long, expansive view before continuing on the trail.

The ruins of an old gate mark a weathered point on the path to Pico Ruivo and seem like the entrance to Madeira's high mountain world. A short photo stop amidst boulders, remnants of walls, and panoramic views is well worth it. Perfect for catching your breath before continuing the ascent towards the summit.
