What if PR16 is closed or fully booked?

If IFCN closes PR16 on your date, email helpdesk.ifcn@madeira.gov.pt within 10 working days with your tickets and invoice, and ask for a new date within a year or a refund. Rain or a change of plans doesn't count, and the SIMplifica contact centre can't change bookings. Can't get a slot? Check the live board for open alternatives.

Before you go

• Booking-only. Walking an IFCN classified trail without a valid SIMplifica ticket is an administrative offence (Portaria 801/2025 art. 10; DLR 24/2022/M art. 13); the law sets fines for individuals of €250–€2,500.
• It's out-and-back. Turn around with enough time and daylight to walk out the way you came.
• Check the live badge the morning you go. Mountain trails close fast for weather, rockfall or works.
