The Sea to Summit Trail in Madeira
leads from the beach in Paul do Mar to the highest peak on the island, Pico Ruivo.
The multi-day hike starts through a rugged gorge to Prazeres and
from there along the Levada Ponta do Pargo and through the Ribeira
da Calheta tunnel to the Risco waterfall. After the winding Levada do Paul and the
Levada das Rabacas, you go through a 3 km long tunnel onto the long-distance hiking
trail PR 17 and finally onto the high-altitude trail PR 1.3, which leads along numerous
peaks. Finally we reach Madeira's largest mountain, Pico Ruivo. The
last stage is the spectacular trek to Pico Arieiro, which runs through tunnels, over
exposed paths and on steep stairs.
The tour is designed as an autonomous hike, which means that we transport our food
and overnight utensils ourselves during the daily stages. In many places we meet
civilization, so that we can stock up on food again and again and not have to carry
the supplies for the entire route.
We discuss the prior planning and organization on the day of arrival, we spend the first
night in the holiday home. The last day serves as a reserve and to relax with a delicious
barbecue.
All services come from a single source: accommodation, meals, transfers and the Sea to
Summit hiking package. Benefit from a well-organized trip. If you need special equipment
such as a headlamp or a tent and a sleeping mat or crockery, we will provide this free
of charge. This way, your flight baggage does not become unnecessarily heavy.
You can spend the first and last night in an apartment, in a single or double room or
simply in a tent, as you wish.
On two days we enjoy full board consisting of breakfast, packed lunch and a delicious dinner
or barbecue. During the trail we cook together.
Of course there is a camera with you on the hike, we would be happy to burn a DVD with your
personal experiences for you.
Welcome to the Sea to Summit Trail in Madeira!
Your trail or your multi-day hike in Madeira crosses the southwest of the flower island
from the sea to the highest peak. A great route with sections of different characters
shows you the diversity of nature, fauna and flora and the different landscape forms of
the volcanic island. We pass gorges, levadas, tunnels and mountain peaks. Live this
adventure.
As your trail guide, I developed and designed this route. Several short intersections
with civilization ensure safety, but we are always accompanied by the feeling of being
exposed to the elements of the island.
Due to the autonomous organization and catering, the Sea to Summit Trail becomes a
real adventure and guarantees unforgettable experiences during your vacation in Madeira.
For the first and last night you have a free choice: apartment, single or double room or simply in a tent. We spend the nights during the hike in the open air or in light trekking tents.
The catering on the first and last day consists of a delicious breakfast, a packed lunch and a dinner. We prepare the meals on the trail together, nature becomes our dining room.
The hiking package of your vacation consists of six stages along the most diverse landscapes of Madeira. Our trail leads through gorges, along old irrigation channels and on high peaks.
The multi-day hike is designed for six daily stages.
Each one has its own special charm and offers great experiences in the
nature of Madeira. Whether in the tunnels of the levadas or along the mountain peaks.
