Welcome to paradise

An incredible enduro week — riding trails and tasting Madeira flavours.

The meeting

One island. Seven days. Every corner by bike.

The little parish of Seixal, on the north coast of Madeira, is the meeting point — the start of the most varied experiences the island has to offer: culture, heritage, typical cuisine, and natural, challenging trails. It takes a week to explore the best of them.

The 12th edition of Mountain Bike Madeira Meeting 2026 is an opportunity to explore the whole island by bike. Every day feels like a different place — the island’s geology creates a huge variety of panoramic tracks with amazing views, and trails through dense, luxuriant forests between the mountains and the sea. Shuttles run between the trails on riding days, so all your energy goes into the descents.

A dream came true

The enduro MTB Center in the Laurissilva

The meeting’s main goal was achieved: an enduro MTB Center built on the north coast, in the most protected area of Madeira — classified a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995 — with Commencal Bikes as the center’s official bike brand.

Fanal — six signposted courses

Fanal is an idyllic spot with a unique forest. The MTB center has six courses: one cross-country / trail loop on the Fanal plateau — panoramic views and natural beauty, ideal for a warm-up — and an enduro circuit of five distinct paths in the heart of the Laurissilva forest. Everything is signposted, with points of interest along real paths and the forest’s specific flora and fauna.

More than trails

Culture, cuisine and the ocean — the whole island

Wine tasting — “Vinhas do Tico” & “Terras do Avô”
Surf, SUP and canoeing off Seixal
