What the current availability means
Trails like PR1 | Vereda do Areeiro to Pico Ruivo (One Way) are under the most booking pressure, so reserve them as soon as your dates are set. If you need a permit at short notice, PR10 | Levada do Furado currently has the most open days this week. When a preferred trail has no near-term availability, consider an afternoon entry or a lower-pressure trail with similar character.
Data and methodology
Madeira Fun checks tourist permit availability for Madeira's protected PR trails from the official Simplifica reservation system. Availability is reported by the government as a rounded percentage per slot, so the figures here are careful estimates, not exact spot counts. The Madeira Fun Booking Pressure Score (0 to 10) summarizes how much upcoming tourist availability has already been taken, weighted toward the nearest dates and recent booking speed. Madeira Fun is an independent travel service, not the government permit administrator; where official trail rules or closures conflict with a summary here, the official source controls. See full data sources, metric definitions and limitations. The same figures, with each trail's next 7 days, are available as open data (JSON and CSV, CC BY 4.0).
