Begin your adventure at your pickup location, where your driver will take you along scenic regional roads, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Madeira’s traditional communities.

Upon arriving at Boca da Corrida, enjoy breathtaking views over the Curral das Freiras valley, Pico do Galo, and the majestic Pico Ruivo.

The trail winds through native vegetation, passing ancient heather and laurel trees. As you ascend towards Pico Grande, the landscape opens up to increasingly spectacular views.

Reaching the summit brings a unique sense of achievement: you are standing in the very heart of Madeira’s mountains. On the return, with Pico Grande behind you, the views ahead are completely transformed, offering a fresh and breathtaking perspective of the island’s landscapes.

This activity is ideal for those with an adventurous spirit, a love for nature, and a desire to experience a true mountain adventure. It takes you off the beaten path, away from crowded spots.
