How hard is PR1 hike from Pico do Arieiro to Pico Ruivo on Madeira?

I wrote this blog article with detailed info about some of the best hikes on Madeira Island: https://www.tim-tense.com/best-hikes-...

The PR1 hike is often described as one of the most thrilling hikes on Madeira. There are definitely some of the best views on the island during this hike but I wouldn’t call it scary. This is highly subjective of course. Overall the hike from Pico do Arieiro to Pico Ruivo is not the hardest, the return to Pico do Arieiro however was a bit harder because of the high inclination (lots of stairs to climb).

For most of my hikes I use the application Wikiloc which is very useful to find your way and see elevation gain, photos of other hikers, etc.

Also check out my other hiking videos of Madeira if you need more inspiration.
