Paul da Serra / Ribeira da Janela

About this Tour

A scenic mountain bike tour across Madeira's high plateau, combining wide views, ancient laurel forest, and a beautiful descent to the north coast.

After the transfer to Paul da Serra, we enjoy views over Ribeira Brava, São Vicente, and the Massif Central before riding through centuries-old laurel forest towards Ribeira da Janela.

In the Fanal area, optional single trails through the endemic forest can make the ride more exciting.

The transfer brings us back to Caniço de Baixo.
