+JordanDinstrumentals The route is a bit dangerous now, a particular part of the way is so damaged that they put a ladder so you can cross it, but still there's some danger.
+Tom Holtermann Andersen Sure but the video is from 2014. I'm talking about recent events, (past 4/5 months). The route has been changed and there is an inaccessible part now. You can still make it through an alternative patch.
Love this trail.. on video only as unfortunately I am sooo terrified of heights I would become paralysed with fear at the steepest points. Such a shame as it looks amazing but even watching this, my heart is in my throat with fear.
Hi Stephanie. Be aware that on the part looking most scary, I filmed with the GoPro on a stick 20-30 cm above my head. This actually makes it look much steeper on the sides than it is. Also, the trail is fenced on both sides there, so it is actually no danger at all. I encourage you to make the trip (or parts of it) if you want to. It was a great experience. Good luck!
Hi, could you please help with the basic infos of this hike if you go along the ridge-trail? We can't find any correct information about the distance, level difference. How much time did it take to you to hike from Pico Arieiro to Pico Ruivo? The hike planner apps show that the level difference is 1100 m only one way and twice as much if you go to and back, but it seems impossible.
Hi Amy, I'm frankly not sure, but we did pass at least one quite long tunnel. I also remember that a landslide had resulted in closure of one trail, so we had only one choice at the time.
This was an incredible adventure! Thank you so much for sharing!
thank you for sharing both a great experience.
Great vid, it's one of the best walks we have done ... amazing! being above the clouds is stunning... we loved Madeira shot loads of vids as well :)
Can't wait to do this walk late this year with my friends from Australia!!!
This is the best video i found on Madeira on the net!!! Thanks for it!!
This has made me want to go back to Madeira and explore more there.
Flot arbejde! Skal derned næste uge. Stor hjælp med denne video. Tusind tak.

+Kami Folder The ladder part (actually steel stairways) was there at this walk also, and it was no problem.

What part exactly is inaccressible/changed?
Im not sure, i've been told some part of the route was changed (due to rocks falling), not sure which tho since I haven't been there for a while.
I've been everywhere there :) It's just a dream. I'd love to stay , build a shelter and live there..

Did you take the western part of this trail through the tunnels or the eastern part around Pico das Torres?

Great video. With which gear you take the video?
GoPro Hero3 on a stick :)
Great video - I hope to do this at the end of August - how long did it take you round trip?
Hello, could you give me the name of the hotel during your stay please?
Sorry, dont remember.
Thank you .I have not climbed up there and I'm sorry !
