The Serra da Estrela Natural Park is something truly special. This 1,000-square-kilometer park, spread across six municipalities, was the first and currently the largest protected natural park in Portugal. It is home to the highest point on the Portuguese mainland, the country's only ski slope, the source of two important rivers, and a fascinating, alpine-like landscape formed by glaciers.

At exactly 1993 meters above sea level, Torre is the highest point in mainland Portugal, where the only ski resort is located. The landscape on the upper plateau of the Serra da Estrela is like a sprinkling of granite rocks over low scrub and patches of snow and ice, which the sun threatens to melt soon in the summer and which always returns the following winter. In winter, it sometimes becomes inaccessible.

Vale Glaciário do Zêzere Vale Glaciário do Zêzere is a spectacular U-shaped valley located in the Serra da Estrela Natural Park in Portugal. Shaped by ancient glaciers, it is the largest and most impressive glacial valley in the Iberian Peninsula. Characterized by steep rock faces, glacial lakes and a rich biodiversity, it offers breathtaking landscapes that will enchant you while you ride.

The waters of the Rio Mondego originate here and you can find a fountain where you can fill your water bottle with fresh water!

In this pretty village immersed in the quiet of the surrounding nature you can stop for a regenerating break.

Beautiful panoramic views from the highest point in Portugal. You can ski here in winter, and there is sometimes snow even in summer.

We were lucky with the weather, bright sunshine. There was still a lot of snow in May, children were able to borrow a bobsleigh and play in the snow. At a cool 8°C!!

Place with incredible views, several slopes
