Overview

We provide a private Pico Climb experience for travellers staying at Faial island. Our local guides are extremely knowledgeable and will make sure to ascent in an easy pace, in order for a comfortable and exciting mountaineering activity.

Itinerary

Pico mountain climb is a very special activity. For the Pico ascent, specific mountaineering techniques are not required to reach the peak. But it is a tough ascent and descent. And that’s why we only advice it for active people. People used to hike in natural terrain, or used to sports in general. Pico mountain is an unique kind of stratovolcano. Most of the lava flows that cover the cone are less of 5000 years old. It’s possible to observe a significant number of very well preserved pahoehoe lavas, and other volcanic features. The mountain flora is also unique in Pico. Calluna vulgaris and Daboecia azorica cover most of the mountain above 1500 meters. And the Silene uniflora cratericola is specific to Pico crater. And only exists there. Weather wise it’s also challenging. Since it can change very quickly. It’s important to be well equipped and prepared for rain, cold, wind and heat. Pico mountain climb is a very demanding activity.

Pico

Published on Sep, 2024

The tour was well organized and prepared. We started from Faial and took the first ferry in the morning to Pico Island, where a taxi was already waiting to bring us to the mountain house. Luis is a very experienced guide, who patiently cared about us and the nature on this long day trip on Pico Mountain. Thank you!

Challenging and exhilarating

Published on May, 2024

My guide Luis was fantastic. The weather was very questionable but Luis made me feel comfortable that we were not going to take any risks. As we reached major milestones in the climb he reassessed the weather and my fitness before deciding to continue. Without his expertise I don’t think I would have completed the climb
