Climb the Peak Mountain during the night and reach Piquinho, the highest point in Portugal, at 2,351 meters altitude, in time to watch the sunrise on the summit.
The Night Climb begins in the early morning, from the House of the Mountain, located at about 1,230 meters altitude. Accompanied by a professional local Guide and with a headlamp, you will make the ascent on the steep and irregular volcanic trail to the crater, then follow up to the Piquinho to watch the sunrise.
The full experience typically takes between 7 and 9 hours, depending on the group's rhythm, rail conditions and weather. The trail is approximately 8 km away, with approximately 1,100 meters of positive de-leveling, and includes solidified lava terrain, volcanic rock and some fragments that require greater attention to progress and hand support.
It is important to have good physical condition and coordination. During the entire climb, the Guide manages the group’s pace and safety, continuously evaluating the weather and mountain conditions.
