The 70 routes cover the three island groups: the Eastern Group (S o Miguel and Santa Maria), Central Group (Terceira, Graciosa, S o Jorge, Pico and Faial) and Western Group (Flores and Corvo).

Routes range from hour-long strolls to full-day outings and most use the islands' network of official waymarked trails, including sections of the multi-day GR1. Also included is an ascent of Pico, the highest mountain on Portuguese territory.
