Sea 2 Mountain Running Tour is the trail running experience that takes you from the sea level directly to the mountain to run on a levada and inside Madeira Laurissilva native forest and finishing smoothly in a trail by the shore always with the sound of the ocean and amazing views.
The first 5km are the toughest ones leaving the village of Porto da Cruz and climbing from sea level to 900m altitude to reach the Levada do Furado where you will run about 4km flat and down till Portela where you have a panoramic view over Porto da Cruz village. From here we start a very comfortable and easy forest trails section, before going down in a technical and sometimes slippery trail to reach the last trail of Larano to run always by this relaxing shore trail back again to the village of Porto da Cruz. This last section of the trail is used on MIUT – Madeira Island Ultra Trail, and most of the whole course in a local trail Porto da Cruz Natura.
Sea 2 Mountain Tour has the total distance of 28km with around 1.000m elevation gain/loss. It has a mix of different types of ground.
