The routes
Discover the thrill of sport climbing on the beautiful island of Madeira, an unforgettable outdoor adventure for everyone. This exciting experience lets you connect with the island in a truly unique way.
Just a short 10 minute walk from the main road brings you to one of Madeira’s most breathtaking spots, overlooking the stunning bay of Ponta de São Lourenço. Breathe in the fresh ocean air, feel the sea breeze on your skin and climb on the island’s impressive volcanic cliffs. It is the perfect way to enjoy nature, challenge yourself and have a great time in good company.
Whether you are travelling solo, with a partner or with friends, this adventure is made for you. Each group is limited to only 4 people, so you will enjoy plenty of personal attention, friendly guidance and insider tips from a local guide to make the most of your climbing day in Madeira.
Sport climbing at Ponta de São Lourenço bay is perfect for those with little or no previous experience. You won’t need to worry about belaying or clipping quickdraws, as you’ll be climbing on top rope the whole time. This means you can relax and fully enjoy the adventure with peace of mind.
Some of the climbs reach heights of up to 15 metres, with most routes around that level. The grades start at IV and go up to 6A, which won’t pose much of a challenge for regular intermediate climbers. But if you’re new to climbing or looking for your first outdoor sport climbing experience, this is just right for you.
The views on the way to the climbing spot and at the crag itself are absolutely stunning. Just a few hundred metres away is the famous Ponta de São Lourenço hike (PR8), one of the most popular walks on the island. This area was even used as a filming location for the latest Star Wars series, with Madeira’s unique volcanic coastline and lush landscapes serving as a stunning and surreal natural backdrop.
