Follow us on this day hike and go from Pico do Areeiro (1,817 meters) to Pico Ruivo (1,862 meters) on the beautiful island of Madeira.
This trail connects two of the highest points on the island, Pico do Areeiro and Pico Ruivo and will take us across fantastic landscapes. While hiking, we’ll discover the central massif of the island and walk through tunnels and steep sections. Also, we might have the chance to see some bird species that can only be found on Madeira and several beautiful plants.
With an extension of 12 kilometers and a duration of 5 hours, keep in mind that this hike is demanding and requires a good level of fitness. Of course, we will be there to help and guide you on the way.
If you love hiking and would like to explore some of the highest points on the island of Madeira, you can’t miss this 1-day hike. Get in touch with us by sending the request to book your place.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
