Trail building

We work closely with the Associação de Ciclismo da Madeira, the Associação de Trilhos de BTT da Madeira, and the Instituto das Florestas e Conservação da Natureza to coordinate and organize our activities, to support trail maintenance, promote responsible riding, and help protect Madeira’s natural environment.

We believe that using trails also means taking care of them. Trail building and maintenance, like that carried out by other companies on the island, are part of our ongoing work, contributing to the sustainability of mountain biking and the safety of all users.

We carry out the construction and maintenance of natural trails, line corrections, drainage systems, cleanup after adverse weather, and the rehabilitation of degraded areas. This work is carried out year-round, rain or shine, because well-maintained trails are safer, more durable, and better respect the surrounding environment.

Our approach prioritizes simple, effective solutions that are integrated into the landscape, preserving Madeira’s natural identity.
