I’ve bundled the ways to do Monte properly, the cable car up from Funchal’s old town and the wicker toboggan back down. Two straw-hatted carreiros steer you down two kilometers of polished asphalt, a tradition running since the 1850s. The sled stops at Livramento, well short of downtown Funchal, so plan a taxi, bus or downhill walk from there.
Discover Madeira's stunning vistas, historic sites, and fun toboggan ride on this small-group tour from Funchal, offering authentic scenery and local flavors.
