Overview

This peaceful mountain hike begins in the quiet of night, under a sky filled with stars and guided only by headlamps. As you move gently along the ridge, the stillness is profound — no crowds, no distractions, just the calm of nature surrounding you.

You’ll reach Madeira’s highest peak just in time to witness a breathtaking sunrise above the clouds, experiencing the moment completely undisturbed and alone with the landscape.

The trail is steady and well-maintained, suitable for hikers with a moderate level of fitness. This journey is not about speed — it’s about presence, mindfulness, and fully immersing yourself in the serene beauty of the mountains.

Ideal for early risers who cherish solitude, stargazing, and unforgettable, crowd-free sunrise experiences.
