Booking & Fees
Booking is online only via the SIMplifica portal; no booking or payment is taken at IFCN sites. You reserve an entry time slot; slots have limited capacity and close when full. A tolerance of roughly 15 minutes around your slot is generally given (IFCN FAQ 1.1-1.5). Refund/reschedule only if the trail was officially closed on your booking date, requested within 10 working days (FAQ 3.x). SIMplifica contact centre: 800 29 90 90 / +351 926 155 465, Mon-Fri 9:00-18:00. Free for children aged 12 or under, Madeira residents (with proof) and people with a disability of 60% or more plus one guardian - registration/reservation is still required for all of them (IFCN FAQ 2.8-2.9). Landowners adjacent to the route are exempt from booking and fee (FAQ 2.10). Combined fares for two or more trails (not PR 1): EUR 9.00 per day, EUR 22.50 for 3 days, EUR 52.50 for 7 days; the system applies the cheapest option automatically (FAQ 2.1-2.3), and each trail must still be reserved separately.
