Pico Ruivo is the highest peak on Madeira Island. It can be reached only by foot, usually either from Pico do Areeiro (3rd highest) after a strenuous hike, or from Achada do Teixeira via a shorter, easier trail. There is an additional trail leading west to Encumeada. The hut just below the summit is now open, and there are water tap and toilets available.
Pico Ruivo is 1,861 metres (6,106 ft) high and provides panoramic views of the island from coast to coast, but unpredictable weather conditions can make it quite dangerous.
There's a hiking trail (T2) leading to the summit. Ruivo is one of the 5 peaks along the Vereda do Arieiro - EAST Route (Pico das Torres).
The nearest mountain hut is Casa do Ruivo located 201m/658ft ENE of the summit.
