The SIMplifica portal has no more spots available for the Pico do Areeiro to Pico Ruivo hike on the first two weekends of May. The first day that non-residents can obtain a walking slot is on the afternoon of the 15th, 16th, and 17th of May.
Tourists wishing to book a morning walking slot will have to wait until the 30th of May. For residents, at least for now, there are no exclusions.
This classified route (PR 1 – Vereda do Areeiro), which connects to Pico Ruivo, reopens from May 1st. Since the August 2024 fire, it has been closed from Pedra Rija. For now, it will be possible to walk the trail in its entirety only on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, as improvement works to the route will be carried out from Monday to Thursday.
The ‘new’ ticket price is 10.50 euros. For those who only want to walk to the Pedra Rija viewpoint, the entry fee is 4.50 euros.
