This path unfolds through the immense and grand mountains of Madeira Island. Along the way, you can enjoy the wonderful landscapes composed of the formidable rock formations, sometimes covered by clouds. Stop every now and then and feel the grandiose feeling of getting closer to heaven.

In this walk you can visit the three highest peaks of Madeira: Pico do Areeiro, Pico das Torres and Pico Ruivo.

As it is a mountain hike, it requires some physical preparation and endurance from hikers, who face many ups and downs. However, the effort required is offset by the extraordinary views the ride provides.

At Pico Ruivo, take a break, have a snack or visit the shelter. Finally, be sure to go to the top of the peak and marvel at the breathtaking scenery and views of the peaks and villages. In good weather, you can have a 360º view of the island with its several highlights: Curral das Freiras, Porto Santo, Desertas, Ponta de São Lourenço and others.
