Trails and fees

Which Madeira trail ticket is cheaper?

The answer

€4.50 a walk, or €10.50 for full PR1. Booking is compulsory.

For a three-day plan, the pass only becomes cheaper from the fifth eligible walk. PR1 is always charged separately.

The whole trail at walking pace, uncut and without commentary, so you can judge the exposure and your own footing honestly. This is the trail whose official hazard warning is about the cliff edge.

Filmed and published by Greg on the Move.

Covers both, which is how the walk is usually done. Note that 25 Fontes carries an official vertigo warning and a compulsory one-way section — despite its easy reputation.
