With Funchal as reference:
This particular course, named PBTT 1 is a dirt road that connects Fonte do Bispo to Florenças in Fajã da Ovelha.
Trails such as “Avalanche Raposeira” and PBTT 2 – Lombada dos Cedros share the same starting point.
This route is well-flagged in its entirety. Go west (to the right) between the centennial heathers and at times cattle that graze in the area. Along with PBTT 2 this is one of the least demanding tracks in Calheta. There are no single tracks along the 5km.
Although not technically demanding, the terrain is generally even meaning that the possibility of meeting Off-road vehicles is quite high. After about 3km you’ll find some fences that you should always close behind you.
The course finishes near the first group of houses in Florenças.
