Peak to Peak Sunrise Hike

Embark on Madeira’s most iconic hiking experience — the Peak to Peak trail linking Pico do Arieiro and Pico Ruivo. Starting before dawn, you’ll set out to catch the first light from the island’s third-highest summit, with sunrise painting the volcanic ridges in gold.

​

This demanding 11 km one-way hike takes you across narrow ridgelines, through hand-carved tunnels, and over countless staircases that test your endurance and reward your effort at every turn. With an early start, you’ll beat the crowds and experience the island’s wild beauty in near solitude.

​

Led by certified local guides, this is more than a hike — it’s an achievement. Reaching Madeira’s highest point, surrounded by clouds and silence, is a moment every adventurer should experience once in a lifetime.
