Portugal gives walkers two very different landscapes on this page: the volcanic island of Madeira out in the Atlantic, and the granite heights of the Serra da Estrela on the mainland. Both let you set the effort level to suit you, so you spend your days outdoors without having to push harder than you want to.
The Madeira Walking Week runs for 7 days and lets you choose your pace, with walks of between 2 and 9 km a day. The week follows a fixed shape. You arrive on day one with an airport pick-up, check in at the hotel in Funchal and meet the group over dinner. Day two is a jeep day, leaving central Funchal at 9:00 for Cabo Girão, Seixal, Porto Moniz and the Fanal forest.
The Serra da Estrela programme is a shorter, 3-day break that combines hiking, cycling and spa days in Portugal's mountains. A typical day starts with breakfast and a look at the trail map. The range has 375 km of marked routes, from gentle valley walks past streams and old villages to climbs up toward the granite peaks, and they are used by hikers, trail runners and cyclists alike.
These holidays suit you if you want a structured walking week on an island or a compact mountain escape with some cycling and spa time mixed in. Gentle options on both mean you do not need to be a seasoned hiker. Prices on this page start from 1290 EUR for the Madeira week.
