After two years, it’s official - PR1 Areeiro - Pico Ruivo is reopening in April 2026, during the Madeira Island Ultra Trail (MIUT)! 🌄
Access may still be limited at first, but long-term recovery will ensure a sustainable future for the trail.
Closed since the 2024 wildfires, the trail has undergone a major recovery plan led by the IFCN and the Regional Secretariat for Tourism, Environment and Culture.
More than 17 km of mountain paths are being restored - with new safety railings, step repairs, and vegetation recovery to protect Madeira’s fragile peaks.
This reopening marks a new era for Madeira’s mountains: safer, sustainable, and more breathtaking than ever. 🌿
