Hiking

Highest elevation in Portugal. There is sometimes snow here in the summer. Even in summer you have to wear a jacket on some days.

Mountaineering

The Torre (after Portuguese torre 'tower') is at 1993 m the highest mountain on the Portuguese mainland and after the Ponta do Pico in the Azores the second highest mountain in Portugal. The mountain, which is more of a knoll in a hilly landscape than a distinct peak, is in the Serra da Estrela. A paved road leads to the highest point, and a roundabout is built around the summit cross. On the north slope of the hill is Portugal's only ski resort.
