Sunrise at Pico do Arieiro with PR1 “Stairway to Heaven” & PR3 – Vereda do Burro

Hiking Transfers – Comfortable Transportation Guaranteed

Begin your journey before dawn with comfortable transport to Pico do Arieiro (1,818 m), where the dark sky is about to burst into colors. As you wait for the sunrise, the landscape comes alive – clouds are painted pink, gold, and orange, creating a celestial spectacle over the mountains.

After this magical moment, the hike starts along the PR1 trail, leading to the legendary “Stairway to Heaven”, a dramatic succession of steps carved into the rock, winding across narrow ridges. The path leads you to Ninho da Manta, a natural viewpoint with breathtaking panoramas.

The route then follows the PR3 – Vereda do Burro, a gentler downhill trail towards the Ecological Park Reception Centre in Funchal, passing high-altitude landscapes and the historic Poço da Neve, an igloo-shaped icehouse built in 1813 to store snow.

With Hiking Transfers, transportation is ensured, making the experience seamless, safe, and unforgettable.
