The climb from Nun's Valley to the Eira do Serrado viewpoint is not long (2.5 km), but there is almost 400 meters in altitude to overcome. Not a really difficult route, but you do need fitness.

Curral das Freiras Valley

Highlight • Gorge

The municipality of Curral das Freiras (literally: nun's stable) got its name from "Freiras" (nuns) who had to retreat there in 1560 to escape from the French pirates who had attacked the island and plundered the city of Funchal.

Serpentines Trail to Curral das Freiras, Parque Natural da Madeira

Highlight • Trail

Few hikers, well-developed path, easier ascent thanks to the switchbacks, but still strenuous. Lots of opportunities to enjoy the view.

I can't confirm Chantal like this. It is not wanted to go the way. But it works without any problems. It looks angrier than it is.
