Embark on a breathtaking journey through Madeira’s dramatic landscapes with a self-guided hike on the renowned PR1 Stairway to Heaven Trail at Pico do Arieiro. This route offers absolute freedom to walk at your own pace and soak in panoramic views from one of the island’s highest peaks. Located next to the Pousada do Pico do Arieiro, the trail offers sights of São Roque do Faial, the Fajã da Nogueira valley, and a glimpse into the nesting grounds of native birds like the buzzard and the manx shearwater.
After completing the Stairway to Heaven, continue your adventure on the PR3 Vereda do Burro trail. From here, enjoy expansive views of Ribeira do Cidrão valley, Curral das Freiras, and the Paul da Serra plateau. Along the way, you’ll pass Poço da Neve, a historical snow reservoir dating back to 1813. End your hike at the Ecological Park, where a cozy donkey farm and a warm cup of hot chocolate at Restaurante Barracão await—perfect for unwinding after a day of incredible natural beauty.
