Mountain Bike Madeira Meeting 2026 · 08–15 November

The week, in full

The riding

A different zone every day

Five guided enduro days across four MTB areas — west, south and north sides of the island. Certified guides lead every group, shuttles run between the trails, and the geology changes so much that every day feels like a different country. Wednesday’s north-side day pauses for the traditional lunch at Fanal, in the heart of the Laurissilva.

Off the bike

Ocean, sunsets and canyons

Surf, stand-up paddle and canoeing off Seixal; the sunset at Cais da Ponta do Sol; sunrise at Bica da Cana on the final Saturday, followed by trekking at Rabaçal or canyoning at Ribeira do Lageado. Afternoons are for the island, not just the trails.

The evenings

Wine, Panelo and the arraial

Wine tasting at Vinhas do Tico, the recreation of the “Festa do Panelo”, a visit to the Porto da Cruz mill, dinners at Clube Naval do Seixal every night — and the closing Arraial Madeirense on Saturday, espetada on the fire included.
