Pico do Arieiro Guided Sunrise Hiking for 30€ : https://getyourguide.tp.st/qQmzhrQH

Welcome to the rooftop of Madeira! Driving up to Pico do Arieiro is an experience in itself, but the real magic begins when you step out of your car at 1,818 meters and stand above a sea of clouds. The main viewpoint is just a short walk from the car park, offering breathtaking panoramas, especially at sunrise. For the adventurous, this is the starting point for the famous PR1 hike to Pico Ruivo, the island's highest peak. This challenging trek of about 3.5-4 hours one-way will lead you across dramatic ridges, through tunnels, and up steep stairways carved into the rock, rewarding you with some of the most unforgettable landscapes on the island.
