Discover Serra da Estrela, the highest mountain in mainland Portugal, a breathtaking destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Nestled in the Centro region, this stunning natural park is a paradise of green valleys, majestic peaks, and scenic trails. Whether you're looking to embrace the snow or explore hidden mountain paths, Serra da Estrela offers an unforgettable experience.
In winter, it’s the only place in Portugal where you can enjoy skiing, snowboarding, or simply building snowmen with family. When the snow melts, the landscape transforms into a haven of crystal-clear lagoons, cascading waterfalls, and rock formations shaped by nature itself—like the intriguing "Head of the Old Men." Hike the iconic Covao dos Conchos trail, go horse riding or cycling, and soak in the beauty of this cinematic scenery.
The journey takes you through glacier-carved valleys like Manteigas and Loriga, where fresh mountain springs offer moments of tranquility. Relax in the warm waters of the Unhais da Serra Thermal Baths, home to the luxurious Aquadome, one of Europe’s most renowned mountain spas.
No visit is complete without indulging in the region’s rich gastronomy. Enjoy a hearty meal in Portugal’s highest village, Sabugueiro, sampling local delicacies like mountain sausages, Serra da Estrela cheese, roast lamb, and the famous Carqueja rice. Pair these delights with exquisite Dao wines, produced using ancient Roman techniques that still impress connoisseurs today.
Along the way, you’ll marvel at breathtaking viewpoints, dramatic rock formations, and charming historic villages. The landscapes of Manteigas, the awe-inspiring Bear Stone, and the picturesque Zezere River Valley will leave you speechless. And in the historic city of Gouveia, discover centuries-old churches and monuments with stories waiting to be told.
Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a taste of Portugal’s traditions, Serra da Estrela is a destination that will captivate your heart.
