Trails in the west of Madeira: Rabaçal and around

The densest cluster of routes on the island: nine variants around Rabaçal, foggy Fanal, the Levada dos Cedros and the cliff descents to Paul do Mar and Jardim do Mar. The common thread is the Paul da Serra plateau and the ER 110 approach.

Check each trail's status on its own page on the day you set out: closures are announced from one day to the next.

The plateau gets cold and wet even in summer, and cloud arrives within a quarter of an hour. A head torch is mandatory on the tunnel variants.
