By being in the south side of the island, Ribeira Brava is one place here you can easily trail all year around, evan in the hardest winter days...
The parish of Campanário already received a trail running event with lots of climb and descend that are really challenging, but that giving the location need some attention with the hydration especially in the summertime, because of its very hot location.
The higher mountains of the council are very known from training, especially the area of "Trompica" that has several track that provides amazing view of the center of the Island. From this point who will find connection all the way to Jardim da Serra that are great for long trains in high altitude. Who also have the levada do norte that is ideal for long and easy training. On the other side of the council, throughout the southeast hill, you can go all the way to the top of Paul da Serra, the biggest plateau in the island, but here pay attention to the weather because with the fog it gets very difficult to find you way...
