    Mountaineering

    The PR1 Vereda do Areeiro is one of the most spectacular hikes in Madeira and leads through the island's central mountain range. It connects Madeira's three highest peaks:
    Pico do Areeiro (1,818 m)
    Pico das Torres (1,851 m)
    Pico Ruivo (1,862 m)


    Difficulty: Moderate to challenging
    Elevation gain: Between 1,491 m and 1,857 m


    The route includes tunnels, steep stairs, and narrow paths along rock faces. It requires surefootedness, a head for heights, and a good level of fitness. The ascent to Pico Ruivo is particularly challenging, but the views of the surrounding mountain landscape are breathtaking.
