With an amazing view, this hike connects two of the highest peaks of Madeira Island: Pico Ruivo (1862m) and Pico do Arieiro (1818m), hiking through the Central Mountain Massif area.

This trail is very uneven therefore physically demanding.

Among the climbs and descents along the trail, there is a steep climb over hundreds of steps carved into the rock as you reach Pico Ruivo, as well as a meticulous descent. This is an excellent trail for nature enthusiasts and for those who seek physical challenges.

The walk was certainly one of the highlights of the holiday. It was difficult with so many steps, both up and down, but with a reasonable level of fitness most could do it. I'm also not great with heights but didn't feel uncomfortable at all during the more precipitous parts due to the rope and cable barriers. Our guide was local and his English was limited. We had to listen carefully to understand what was said. Me (51) and my 21 year old daughter enjoyed the walk because of the stunning views which were a constant throughout the whole walk, but it was very busy (in July) and those going contraflow had to wait a long time to navigate the single-file sections, of which there were many. I felt we could have done with longer breaks as we didn't really have the chance to stop for a decent lunch. Oh and remember 50cent for the toilets and expect to wait a long time in the queue:-)
