The IFCN (Institute of Forests and Nature Conservation) reports that the pedestrian route PR 1 Vereda do Areeiro (Pico do Areeiro – Pico Ruivo) is temporarily closed for safety reasons due to a rockfall incident.
No official dates for the reopening and it’s strictly forbidden to go.
Any notice how much longer this will remain closed? My window to cancel my vacation for free is closing soon and seeing as this hike is the number 1 reason for me to visit Madeira, I will have to cancel if it’s still closed by March.
It’s already reopened
Is the whole trail reopened? Will be visiting in two weeks and really want to do this hike.
