Sunset at Pico do Arieiro with Optional Stairway to Heaven Hike

Watch the sunset from Pico do Arieiro, Madeira’s third-highest peak, on a shared experience designed to help you enjoy this iconic mountain location in a calm and convenient way. Hotel pickup is included within the listed pickup areas. Guests may also choose to independently explore nearby viewpoints such as Ninho da Manta and the Stairway to Heaven on an optional self-guided walk of roughly 2.4 km round trip.

After pickup, travel up to 1,818 meters to admire the changing colours of the sky above the clouds in one of Madeira’s most striking mountain landscapes. Whether you relax near the main viewpoint or do the optional walk, this experience offers a memorable way to enjoy Pico do Arieiro at sunset.

If summit weather or visibility is too poor, an alternative viewpoint in the Palheiro area or another suitable location may be used. Clear views cannot be guaranteed. Warm clothing is recommended, as mountain temperatures can drop quickly after sunset.
