    Hiking

    At the junction of hiking trails PR 1.1 and PR 1.2, you'll find an important landmark in the heart of the mountains between Pico Ruivo and Ilha. Here you can briefly decide whether you prefer to continue along scenic ridge paths or descend towards the valley. It's the perfect moment for a short break, a glance at the trail markers, and a photo of the surrounding peaks.

    Running

    Just below Madeira's highest point, where Pico Ruivo reaches 1,862 meters, two iconic trails intersect: PR1.2, which climbs from Achada do Teixeira on an accessible and popular route; and the more demanding PR1.1, which descends in curves to the parish of Ilha. At this meeting point, between sky and mountain, the views are simply breathtaking.
