Planning a walk on Madeira’s classified PR network
Every route on this page belongs to Madeira’s official Percursos Recomendados (PR) network recorded on the IFCN table of 2 October 2026. Rather than treating each trail as a single pass/fail label, every route brief breaks the walk into its official named endpoints so you can see whether the entire line is open both ways, operating under a one-way traffic rule, or partially closed at a mid-route gate.
1. Check section status
Routes marked Partly open — including PR 1, PR 1.3, PR 6, PR 12, and PR 17 — have either a one-way rule or a closed section beyond an intermediate landmark.
2. Match return logistics
Use the Return to your car filter when driving a rental car without a pre-booked pickup. Routes marked One-way · transfer at finish end in a different valley or elevation and require a taxi, public bus, or early turnaround.
3. Book the right fee tier
Under the IFCN trail fee rules, non-residents over 12 pay €4.50 per classified route, or €10.50 for the full one-way PR 1 peak traverse covering PR 1, PR 1.1, PR 1.2, and PR 1.3.
