    Description

      Serra da Estrela, the capital of snow and much more

      Situated right in the Centro region, Serra da Estrela is the mountain range with the highest peak in mainland Portugal. This natural park is an area of rare beauty and a great choice for those who love to take walks between green valleys and mountains.

      It is the only place in Portugal where it is possible to practice winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding, or even make snowmen with children —popular with any child on the planet.

      But Serra da Estrela is also an excellent option in the warmer months with the many lagoons and secret lakes. This is without mentioning the rocks that seem to have been carved by our ancestors, but which are only the whims of a well-disposed Mother Nature, as is the case of the "Head of the Old Men".

      That is to say that it is a tour that can be done at any time of the year.

      A tour and an adventure in the middle of the mountain

      Lose yourself in the immensity of the magnificent nature trails, such as the Covão dos Conchos trail, that invite you horse riding or cycling. We guarantee you'll come across scenarios worthy of a movie. The cascades are enough to leave anyone with their mouths open.

      On this tour you will pass through the glacier valleys of Manteigas or Loriga and discover the fresh springs that are both therapeutic and relaxing. Enjoy the various hot baths in the area such as the Aquadome at the Unhais da Serra Thermal Baths, the country's first mountain spa and one of the most important in Europe. They provide the perfect combination of luxury and comfort on the mountain.

      Of course, here gastronomy is never forgotten. Enjoy a meal with dishes typical of the region in Portugal's highest village, Sabugueiro, situated at 1200 metres above sea level.

      From the delicious sausages and cheeses of the mountains, to roast lamb, fried cod with bread and famous Carqueja rice, it is difficult is to choose. We believe it's worth sampling the traditional recipes of some of the local chefs in a delicious tasting experience.

      We must not fail to talk about the good wines of the Dão region, produced using ancestral techniques left by the Romans and that still delight the specialists today. You will get the opportunity to taste them on this tour.

      Serra da Estrela is more than a winter destination

      On this tour you will fall in love with enchanted valleys, imposing rock formations, viewpoints, waterfalls, and historic villages. This is undoubtedly one of the best options in Portugal for nature lovers.

      We haven't even talked about Manteigas yet, where you'll find breath-taking landscapes like the Bear Stone and Zêzere River Valley. That is not forgetting, of course, the city of Gouveia, full of churches and monuments with passionate stories.

      All this in a personalized visit to one of the most beloved corners of Portugal.

      An invitation to moments of pure tranquillity

      On this trip that lasts ten to twelve hours, let yourself be enchanted by the largest protected area of the country in this escape to the mountains.

      Here, the bustle of the city is behind you and there is only the silence and tranquillity that the mountain towns offer — and perfect for those who live in the city.

      Get ready to walk and join us. Take the opportunity for a relaxing break.
