Hike Up The Madeira Mountains

ATOL Protected
All of our holidays that include flights are protected by the ATOL scheme from the moment you book. So if one of our suppliers fails, you’ll get your money back. If you’re left stranded abroad, a flight home will be arranged at no extra cost. Our ATOL number is 11806
ABTA Protected
As proud ABTA members we deliver the highest standards when it comes to our holidays. So if you book with us you’re guaranteed the best service. Our ABTA number is P8283, Y6720.
Secure trust account
Unlike many other travel companies we operate on a trust account model. Once we’ve paid the airline for your flights, the rest of you money is held in a trust account. We do not have access to this directly and can only withdraw funds when you are back home from holiday

Walk through the shaded forests, past flowing streams and waterfalls in the emerald green countryside. Climb the rocky terrain to Pico do Arieiro. The area has a huge altitude of 1,818 metres and is the third highest peak on the island. The challenging trek is best done with clear skies as the trail takes you high above the clouds.

Once at the top, you can take in the breathtakingly beautiful views of the contrasting green landscape with the blue sea. If the idea of trekking up there doesn't appeal to you, you can also journey up by car.

If you're up to the challenge, take your walking boots and hike the 2-3 hour journey to the highest peak of Pico Ruivo. From here, on a sunny day, you can see for miles. Be in awe at the views of the thick, green forest, ancient old trees and endless blue water.
