Create an itinerary including Pico do Arieiro

Depending on the weather conditions, from Pico do Arieiro you can either see endless chasms cutting through red and green colored hills or a soft carpet of white clouds rolling beneath your feet. With a height of 1,818 m (5,965 ft), the peak is the highest spot on Madeira. Even though it requires hiking and climbing long trails, 1,000 people on average visit the site every day. Dress comfortably, take water with you, and let the well-built stone pathway lead you through forests and tunnels to the top. Before you head to Funchal, plan trip itinerary details with our user-friendly Funchal trip itinerary builder, to make sure you see all that Funchal has to offer, including Pico do Arieiro.

I've just got back from Madeira and I wanted to see the sunrise at Pico do Arieiro, yes it's an early start but well worth it. I got up around 05.30 and set off around 06.15 to get there around 07.00.... more

It’s easily accesible by car, you go through very nice different areas as you are driving up. If you are lucky you can see the clouds from above, they say it happens more often in the mornings.

At seaside the temperature is summer, but the mountain peak temperature is winter. Need warm clothes to enjoy the view. If you see clouds cover the peak, it doesn’t mean that peak is actually cloudy. Peak may be over the clouds.
