WORLD CLASS TRAIL RUNNING ADVENTURES
ON EUROPE’S MOST DRAMATIC ISLAND
NOT JUST A RUNNING HOLIDAY:
MADEIRA OFFERS BUCKET-LIST TRAILS, BOLD ADVENTURE, AND TIME TO TRULY CONNECT.
The archipelago of Madeira is situated in the north Atlantic Ocean, southwest of Portugal. It is famous for its wine, local food, historical and cultural value, immensely beautiful and lush landscape, and of course, incredible mountain trails that ‘Trail Run Adventures’ fell in love with. We will explore all of the main corners of the island, the high points of Pico Ruivo and its neighbouring peaks, ancient levadas, waterfalls, tunnels, coastal ridges, sandy and rocky beaches, and the famous city of Funchal. With three guided departures each year, Madeira serves up an incredible variety of terrain and trails for every ability - so whether you’re a mountain goat or a coastal cruiser, you’ll find your stride here.
Madeira is our magical people pleaser.

HIGHLIGHTS OF MADEIRA
SEE THE MAGIC FOR YOURSELF - HIT PLAY!
Levadas = flowy miles. Madeira’s historic irrigation paths create hundreds of kilometers of near-flat singletrack that thread behind waterfalls and through short tunnels. Perfect for easy days and scenic links between big climbs.
Sea-to-summit drama. Peaks rise to 1,862 m straight from the Atlantic, delivering elevation, skyrunning, stair-cut rock, and panoramic views.
Year-round sunshine. Mild temperatures and diverse microclimates mean there’s almost always good weather somewhere on the island.
Any pace, any day. From gentle levadas for recovery runs and beginners, to technical stairways and knife-edge ridges for skyrunners, we match routes to ability and goals.
Beyond the run. Canyoning in basalt gorges, surf lessons, yoga, whale watching aboard a catamaran, post-run ocean dips, and delicious regional cuisine.
Effortless journeys. Short transfers put trailheads within easy reach. We handle shuttles for all runs, and lead you with local experts who live and breath Madeira.
