Madeira Ativa
Read full descriptionHide full description
Madeira's mountains are laced with levadas: narrow irrigation channels cut into the cliffs from the fifteenth century onward to carry water from the wet north to the farmland of the south. The paths beside them became the island's footpath network — and almost every race, walk and village festa on Madeira still happens somewhere along it. Madeira Ativa shows you both at once. THE ISLAND NOW The home screen opens on today: weather on the coast and at Pico do Arieiro, sea temperature, waves and tides, UV, wind at the airport, ships in port, and the next morning when sunrise at Pico do Arieiro will be above the clouds. Then how many trails are open, live webcams and what's coming up. LEVADAS All 44 official PR routes, each with distance, climb, current open, partly open or closed status and any access fee, so you know what a walk asks of you before you leave the car park. Every route has its own page: elevation profile, official walking time and difficulty, railings, narrow sections and tunnels, a forecast for the trail itself, car parks at each end and the buses that stop nearby. BY BUS Which trails you can reach by bus, the lines that stop near each end, and a map of the island's bus network. The trip planner works by the clock: door-to-door journeys across the island with up to two changes, the walks between stops and real departure times. "I'm at a stop" finds the stop you are standing at and its next buses. ASK AI (BETA) Ask about a trail, where to go today, the weather or what's on, and get a short answer written from the app's live data — with the facts it used shown underneath, so you can check it. EVENTS Trail running, road races, orienteering, cycling, open-water swimming, triathlon, children's races and village festas — over a hundred at a time, filterable by category, period and day. Set a reminder for the evening before, keep favourites, add any of them to your calendar. A watchlist holds events whose dates are announced but not yet confirmed, so nothing quietly disappears. ORIENTEERING BASICS Every orienteering map symbol, forest and town sprint, with what it means; control descriptions explained column by column, with an example sheet in the style of Madeira's races; how a race works, from the SPORTident chip to the R1–R3 backup boxes; and a compass that locks a bearing. TRAIL RUNNING STATISTICS MIUT and every Madeira race in numbers: finishers by year, course records, countries, clubs and how many finish. MAP Events and trails on one OpenStreetMap view with switchable layers. A 3D terrain view, an aerial flyover and a popularity layer help you read the shape of a climb before you commit to it, or find the quieter alternative to a famous walk. ROOTS The island's history as themed stories: a six-era timeline from the uninhabited laurel forest through sugar, wine, embroidery and the arrival of tourism, with an album of old Madeira. Written to be read at a trailhead or on the bus up the valley. NEWS AND TV Headlines from Madeiran and international outlets in the language you choose, each crediting its publisher and linking to the original article. Plus upcoming sports broadcasts, for the days you would rather watch than run. EVERYDAY DETAILS Official IPMA weather warnings on the home screen and on every trail they affect. Notifications for events you follow and for trails that open or close. An offline cache, so a route you have already opened still works where the signal stops. Light, dark or system theme. Interface in English, Portuguese, German or Russian. Madeira Ativa is free: no account, no advertising, nothing to buy. Your location is used only when you tap "I'm at a stop", and it never leaves your phone. It is independent and not affiliated with the Regional Government or the tourism board — always confirm entry details and trail status with the organisers. Made on the island, for the people who live here and the ones who came to be outside.
