From the Madeira World / Places

Pico Ruivo

Madeira’s highest summit reaches 1,862 metres and opens a wide mountain panorama. The summit should be planned as a return hike rather than a roadside photo stop.

Pico Ruivo

Why go

The peak is a deliberate hiking destination, with its value in the surrounding central massif as much as the summit marker. Select a route and allow for the ascent and return rather than treating the map point as a roadside viewpoint.

What to look for

  • 1,862-metre island summit

Useful to know

  • Allow for the return hike; if using PR1.2, reserve a time via SIMplifica in advance and check current trail status.
