  8. Good to Know Activity level

    This walk is unsuitable for people with vertigo problems; Parts of the path are narrow with a steep drop on one side, but most have a barrier running alongside. There are steep steps and narrow sections to overcome. There are toilets at Pico do Arieiro and at Pico Ruivo mountain hostel.

    Children:

    Not recommended for children under 9.

  9. Security Don't take risks

    Better to go with a guide and relax, instead of getting lost in the mountains of Madeira. Knowing that the mountain guide activates the emergency system is reassuring if you fall or feel unwell. He/she sends a warning and the group’s location to the local authorities, enabling a quick rescue. All well worth the money for the hike.
