Vereda da Lagoa do Vento (PR 6.3) is a easy 1.8 km walking trail on Madeira, running from Rabaçal to Lagoa do Vento. It climbs about 267 m and descends about 74 m along the way. That is steep: the ascent is packed into a short distance, about 148 m of climb per kilometre. It runs between 1110 m and 1295 m above sea level. Mid-altitude on Madeira means cloud is common even on a clear day at sea level. It is a point-to-point route. The official walking time is 1 h 30. Access status is currently open. There is no entry fee. The trail is waymarked in yellow.

Narrow sections are limited (0% of the surveyed route), and 2% is without a railing.
OpenStreetMap, where surveyed; mapped on 100% of the route.
No bus route is mapped near either end, so this one effectively needs a car or a transfer. It is point-to-point, not a loop, so a car left at the start is a car you have to walk back to — most people arrange a drop-off, a taxi, or the bus. No car park is mapped within 600 m of either end.
