Vereda da Ladeira is a steep trail on Madeira leading down from Fajã da Ladeira to Achadas da Cruz on the northwest coast. The hike covers about 3.5 kilometers one way, descends roughly 700 meters in elevation, and takes around 1.5 to 2 hours, with stunning cliff and ocean views throughout. Due to the steep and sometimes slippery terrain, shoes with good grip are a must for safety and comfort.
