The Institute of Forestry and Nature Conservation reported today that the recovery work on the section of the PR 1.2 Vereda do Pico Ruivo pedestrian route between Casa de Shelter do Pico Ruivo and Pico Ruivo has been completed. The route is now fully passable.
The route between Casa de Abrigo do Pico Ruivo and Pico do Areeiro, another point of great interest for nature and hiking lovers, will remain temporarily closed for safety reasons. This trail is known for its complexity and exposure to the elements, and requires deeper and more specialized interventions to ensure the stability of the affected areas. The IFCN is monitoring the escarpment areas and carrying out regular technical assessments, which will allow us to outline what interventions are necessary for a safe and sustained reopening of this route.
