Madeira Ativa › Levada trails › PR1
Vereda do Pico Branco e Terra Chã (PR1) is a easy 2.7 km walking trail on Madeira, running from ER120 to Terra Chã. It climbs about 121 m and descends about 242 m along the way. That averages a gentle but steady gradient, about 45 m of climb per kilometre. It runs between 180 m and 334 m above sea level. It is a point-to-point route. Access status is currently open. The trail is waymarked in yellow.
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.
