Description
Begin your adventure with a pickup from your accommodation in Funchal. Head to the starting point of the hike and meet your guide.
Set off on your hike, passing through raw volcanic terrain, narrow ridgelines, and panoramic viewpoints that gradually reveal the island’s vast mountainous interior.
From the summit, be rewarded with extraordinary 360-degree views stretching across deep valleys, sharp peaks, and, on clear days, the Atlantic Ocean beyond.
Unlike some of Madeira’s more famous mountain routes, this trail remains relatively exclusive, and it’s common to encounter very few other hikers along the way. For those looking to avoid the crowds of the popular PR1 Pico do Arieiro route, Pico Grande offers a quieter and more authentic alternative, allowing for a deeper connection with the island’s natural beauty and mountain atmosphere.
With your local guide, hike safely and at a steady rhythm, while gaining insight into Madeira’s volcanic formation, the island’s dramatic topography, and the resilience required to navigate and live within such terrain.
This is not just a hike — it is a true mountain experience that combines physical challenge, natural power, and authentic connection to Madeira’s untamed landscape.
