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.

Two walkers following a levada path into low sun, the narrow water channel running full alongside the trail, a mossy rock face on one side and a wooded valley dropping away on the other.
Karolina
A bare earth path between ancient moss-covered laurel trees on bright green grassland in mist, their gnarled branches arching low over the trail.
Ritvars Garoza
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.

Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play — not even the preview image, which is drawn here on the page.

If you would rather not arrange transport

Guided levada walks, transport included

IFCN provides no return transport, and PR1 is one-way past Pedra Rija — a guided walk solves the logistics the booking system leaves to you.

Out on the high plateau — the only live camera up there, and the catchment the 25 Fontes levada drains.
