First time in Madeira?
Decision for today
Best trail by status and weather
The ranking combines trail status, weather, travel and your time. A decision aid, not an official recommendation.
How the ranking works
Ranking uses trail status, weather, access, your base and available time. It helps you choose, but is not an official safety recommendation. Travel time is estimated from straight-line distance: drive to the trailhead plus return to your base; for routes with a recorded end point, the return is calculated from that point, otherwise from the trailhead.
