Overview

Voila une première version de l’itinéraire.

L’idée est de faire le tour de l’ile et de minimiser les temps de transports. La progression est de faire la zone nord est, puis nord ouest, tout en faisant des randonnées dans les hauteurs du centre de l’ile.

A partir de la deuxième semaine nous commençons à explorer le sud de l’ile.

A noter qu’on passe plus de temps sur le Nord et les hauteurs de l’ile car c’est la partie la plus sauvage avec les plus belles falaises et randonnées.

En contrepartie, le sud est la partie la plus habitée et urbanisée. On ne visitera que les villages les plus sympas, et évitant les grandes de villes qui ont moins d’intérêts.

Au niveau des hotels, je vous propose 2 maisons d’hôtes : une a Port Da Cruz pour visiter la partie Nord Est de l’ile, puis une maison à Sao Vicente pour visite le Nord Ouest et le sud. Sao Vicente est placé stratégiquement près d’une route qui connecte avec bien le sud de l’ile.

Why Visit Madeira? The Floating Garden of the Atlantic

Madeira is not just an island; it’s a subtropical paradise that rises dramatically from the Atlantic. Known as the “Floating Garden,” it offers a breathtaking blend of rugged volcanic landscapes, lush ancient forests, and charming coastal towns, making it a dream destination for adventurers, nature lovers, and those seeking serene beauty.

A Hiker’s Paradise: The Levada Trails: The island is crisscrossed by a unique network of irrigation channels called *levadas*. These channels are flanked by walking paths that contour the mountains, offering hikers of all abilities access to stunning, otherwise unreachable landscapes. Walk through misty forests, past cascading waterfalls, and along cliffs with jaw-dropping ocean views.
Dramatic Volcanic Landscapes: Born from volcanic fire, Madeira’s scenery is nothing short of epic. From the jagged peaks of Pico do Arieiro and Pico Ruivo piercing the clouds, to the towering sea cliffs of Cabo Girão (one of Europe’s highest), the island provides a constant feast for the eyes and a dramatic backdrop for photography.
A Living UNESCO World Heritage Site: Step back in time in the Laurisilva of Madeira, a vast, prehistoric laurel forest that is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site. This ancient, misty woodland is a remnant of the type of forest that once covered much of Southern Europe, filled with unique flora and an enchanting, primeval atmosphere.
Charming Towns & Coastal Wonders: Discover the vibrant, historic capital of Funchal with its colourful market, botanical gardens, and famous toboggan rides. Then, explore the island’s coastline, from the natural volcanic swimming pools of Porto Moniz to the picturesque fishing village of Câmara de Lobos, all offering a delightful taste of local culture and cuisine.
An Island of Eternal Spring: Thanks to its subtropical climate, Madeira offers pleasant weather year-round. This makes it an ideal destination for escaping the cold of winter or enjoying a summer that is warm but rarely scorching, perfect for outdoor activities any month you choose to visit.

Detailed Itinerary

Comme convenu j’ai fait mon possible pour ajouter le maximum de randonnées et sites de la liste que vous m’avez fournie.

Ceci dit je n’ai pas trouvé certains site de la liste :

Sao Roque de Faial & Sommet Pico de Facho = C’est pas au meme endroit…
Porto Santo = J’ai pas mis, c’est une autre ile. On peut l’ajouter mais ca aurait un cout supplémentaire significatif.
Pico Ana Ferreira avec mirador Das Flores = Pareil, je n’ai pas mis, c’est sur Porto Santo
Ponta Bengada = ??? N’existe pas
PR21 Camino Do Norte = Que des notes 1 sur 5 sur les sites de randonnée. Les commentaires disent que les chemins ne sont pas entretenus et la boucle fermée.
Calhau da Lapa = Fermé temporairement
PR1 Pico Arieiro est fermé ! On ne peut plus faire la traversée cette année | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCNPX5riMAs
Les sentiers sont payants maintenants !!!!
