Mountain biking in Madeira

Mountain biking in Madeira is a sport in strong expansion, however it is still a niche, with Down Hill and All Mountain/Eduro being the slopes with the largest number of local practitioners.

In Madeira it is possible to practice mountain biking all year round and the island offers a unique variety of trails and landscapes, from forest paths to single trails that take us from the top of the mountain to sea level!

However, in Madeira, trail signs and information available about the ideal routes for mountain biking are almost non-existent. That's why we recommend joining guided tours and local guides.

On the other hand, Casas Valleparaízo offer an ideal location for those who enjoy and are looking to practice mountain biking in Madeira. The Levada do Vale Paraíso right next to Casas Valleparaízo offers a very beautiful and easy route, ideal for any practitioner. For the more experienced, Casas Valleparaízo is just a short distance from areas with many routes, such as Pico Arieiro, Montado do Pereiro, Poiso, Quatro Estradas, etc.


Canyoning

Canyoning is a "must-do" adventure if visiting Madeira! A fun, safe and easy activity, ideal for getting to know Madeira's most unspoilt and beautiful nature.

Canyoning consists of a walk along the stream of a stream, where you jump or rappel down the waterfalls. In the company of experienced guides this activity is also suitable for beginners and other levels are also available for the more experienced.

In turn, near Casas Valleparaizo you can find several streams famous for Canyoning, such as Ribeira das Cales and Ribeiro Frio.
