- I wrote this blog article with detailed info about some of the best hikes on Madeira Island: www.tim-tense.com/best-hikes-...
The PR1 hike is often described as one of the most thrilling hikes on Madeira. There are definitely some of the best views on the island during this hike but I wouldn’t call it scary. This is highly subjective of course. Overall the hike from Pico do Arieiro to Pico Ruivo is not the hardest, the return to Pico do Arieiro however was a bit harder because of the high inclination (lots of stairs to climb).
For most of my hikes I use the application Wikiloc which is very useful to find your way and see elevation gain, photos of other hikers, etc.
Also check out my other hiking videos of Madeira if you need more inspiration.

We will be leaving for our Madeira vacation in less than two weeks and this is definitely the hike that I am looking the most forward to!
Looking forward to this one in 3 weeks. Lovely video.
What a hike. I so want to do this the next time I'm in Madeira. Thanks for sharing
It's absolutely amazing. I 💯 recommend it!
Thanks Tim.. excellent video.
Thanks for watching!
😍🥰🤗 beautiful . I love Madeira island.
Nice video footage, beautiful landscape!
Thanks cous!
I and my son did this hiking 2 years ago. Early in the morning. I would come back a hundred times. We did 7 hikes in Madeira.
Nice! I also enjoyed it very much. Check out my other videos, I also did about 7 hiked I think. Madeira is really beautiful!
@@timtense wow amazing views.. what time of year did you go?
Wij gaan morgen en ondanks best wat hoogtevrees wil ik m toch proberen.. Vroeger durfde ik nog niet op een keukentrap en inmiddels al op meerdere hoogten gewandeld. Gave video!
Very well done video despite the fog, it will be a great inspiration for my next trip to Madeira!
Thank you very much, you will love it!
Just got back from Madeira, such a lovely island, I did the PR1 hike there and back in the morning with a few breaks to eat and take in the views 4.75hrs there and back then did the PR8 Dragons tail hike afterwards down at Ponta de São Lourenço a little easier with great views though.
Walked part of it yesterday, glad you said that was the hardest part.
Hope you enjoyed!
Fantastic video! Thanks
You can do the trip one way and descend down the North side (did this in 2018) to catch a bus back but it;s 800m down on wooden steps!
At least you got a bit of luck with the weather in the end. That hike has awesome dramatic landscapes.
Yes, despite the clouds it was still a stunning hike!
Fantastic video and walk!
Thanks! If you're ever in Madeira, definitely go for it 😍
thanks for this video! helped a lot to plan my trip to Madeira!
You're welcome. I also have a blogpost that is linked in the description that might help. If it's not too late yet? 😅
@@timtense the trip is in 2 days - I still have to time, thanks so much! :)
Awesome !
Hi there, thanks for a nice film.
Thanks for watching!
Says it's cold outside, and then goes on the hike in shorts, gasta love this guy 🍀
You already know 🤣
Thanks Tim it was beautiful,me and my daughter going in mei, can,t wait
You're welcome! I'm sure your holiday will be great!
Great video, falling in love with Madeira. I can walk 6 to 12km, did it in NY for 5 days straight. But hiking seems maybe to much, got a small fear of heights but can really appreciate the views.
There are lots of other less scary hikes in Madeira. Caldeirao Verde for example. There's a link in the description of this video to my blog where there's info for some hikes. Enjoy!
@@timtense what other easy hikes would you recommend in madeira?
Caldeirao Verde is a must! Check out my blog post about hiking in Madeira with all the info you need 😉
Amazing video.
Thanks!
Great video , thank you for all the info might try it on a trip soon
You're welcome and you definitely should!
Never wanted to leave this slice of paradise called Madeira 😢🌴🏖️
Absolutely very informative video 👏 unfortunately the weather was too bad in our last days, so that we couldn’t make this awesome trip 😔 I uploaded yesterday my first short Madeira clip 🎥 definitely an awesome island
Amazing views and amazing Madeira! It's my dream to come there
It's gorgeous!
Great stuff - very useful, heading there sokn
This trail is my absolute dream. I absolutely need to cure my plantar fasciitis. I can't possibly miss such beauty in the world 😥😥
Would you recommend for someone with a head for heights?
thank you for your video. We will go January 2022. Best wishes Siri and Uwe
Thank you for watching. Enjoy the travels!
❤❤from madeira my father did lot times .
I am planning to do it next week, should I have a hiking shoes? What equipments you took with you?
Awesome! Yes definitely get some decent hiking shoes and enough drinks. Enjoy!
Hi, I would like to do this hike I have an average fitness level I can go for good walks but never hike before. Would this be ok for me to
Do
The walk looks very good but the fall would suck!
Very true!
Спасибо! Завтра мне предстоит пройти этот путь!
Not sure what you said but I understood Spacibo so you're welcome 😉
@@timtense I thanked you for the video. I wanted to leave a review in Russian! Today my husband and I walked this path !!!!! The weather was bad, fog, wind. There were few people. We went all the way in 5 and a half hours. Good luck!
The weather is a hit or miss but nonetheless a beautiful place!
Tim, welke maand ben je geweest?
❤
Can I go pico de ruivo in the car without walking because I have 2 children 14 years girl and 11 years boy
thanks for sharing this. can you please tell me what time of the year was this?
Thanks for watching. It was in November.
If you leave a car at Pico do Arieiro and walk to Pico Ruivo whats the best way to get back to the start where you left a car?
I walked back. Views were different so it didn't feel like doing the same trail twice.
so not recomended for someone who gets vertigo on steep mountainsides?
It might be challenging on some parts of the hike but if you keep close to the side it should be okay.
Anyone knows when its the best time to hike in Madeira?
Good question. Inquiring minds want to know.
I feel silly for asking, but are there any bears up there?
No bears in Madeira, don't worry
Hi,
I have acheived this hiking last week. The weather was perfectly sunny and clear.
What a beautiful nature and the best of this hiking is once I arrived on the top and the view 360° Pic R. That was my reason to come back in Madeira.
So, if you are looking for a bit hard hiking -5000 steps and beautiful montains nature with some animals, do not hesitate to perform this hinking.
Cheers!
do you think this is possible as an absolute untrained person with some hiking experience?
„Love how quiet it is here now“… why then spoil the video with tons of music?
Thanks for watching 😊
