Pico Formosinho, at 501 meters above sea level, is the highest point in the Serra da Arrábida...

A very tough climb, an even tougher descent... Not accessible to everyone...

It is the highest point of the Serra da Arrábida and it is not easy to get up there!...

This linear route runs along the northern and southern slopes of the Serra da Arrábida up to Portinho da Arrábida, passing through the highest point of the mountain range, Alto do Formosinho, marked with a geodesic marker at 501 metres. This route, which is of the highest level of difficulty, is the closest to mountaineering conditions, due to the steep incline and the characteristics of the terrain.

It is one of the most charismatic routes in the region, due to its connection to the first settlements of Arrábida (Castelo dos Mouros rock formation) and the ancient pilgrimage candles of devotion to Our Lady of Arrábida, which are still maintained, due to the challenge of reaching the peak, through dense vegetation, areas of gravel and rock climbing, and also through the endless landscapes that connect the Sado estuary to the Tagus and the border between Finisterra and the ocean.
