    Hiking

    Absolutely gigantic tour. Should anyone who has been to Madeira. Attention: a head for heights should be a requirement!

    Hiking

    The hike from Pico do Arieiro to Pico Ruivo is one of the most spectacular, if not THE most spectacular hikes in all of Madeira.
    The hike is quite demanding and because of the many meters in altitude, a certain basic level of fitness is essential; Surefootedness, a head for heights and good footwear are mandatory. There is no way to take shortcuts along the way.
    If you do the tour there and back: the last few kilometers on the way back to Pico do Arieiro are really tough.
