Hiker on PR1 Pico do Arieiro
From January 1, 2025, another 23 of the most hiked routes will be added to the list of pay-to-walk routes.
The move is part of a campaign for more sustainable tourism, especially with an increase in visitors to Madeira during peak hiking seasons.
Profits from the new hiking route fees will go towards trail maintenance, cleaning and preservation efforts.
The routes are all managed by the Institute of Forests and Nature Conservation (ICNF) in Madeira.
To pay for the routes, hikers can access the regional government portal, Simplifica, or use on-site payment options at ICNF stations along many of the trails.
There will be potential fines of up to €50 for hikers who fail to pay the fee.
