Short Section of PR1 to Reopen; Shuttle Restarts (Update)

The IFNC has updated its advice on the trails around Pico do Areeiro/Pico Ruivo.

From 4th September, the PR1 walking route will now be open as far as the Pedra Rija viewpoint (1.2km stretch). PR 1.1 will be open from the Pico Ruivo "Casa de Abrigo" to Ilha and PR 1.2 will be open from Achada do Teixeira to the Pico Ruivo "Casa de Abrigo".

This means that a slightly longer stretch of trails will be open than previously envisaged. However, barriers are in place to prevent access to areas that remain dangerous and visitors are asked to respect them for their safety,
