Located within the Planalto Superior biogenetic reserve, the Rossim Valley is a unique location of great scientific, environmental, and scenic value that deserves to be protected and enhanced. Although it is an artificial lake, over time, conditions have been created that have transformed this area into an excellent leisure and recreation area that attracts countless tourists. The Vale do Rossim recreation center is located at an average altitude of 1,437 meters. Before the dam was built, it was one of the best high-altitude pastures in the municipality of Gouveia. The area has almost always been frequented by transhumance herds, flocks that gathered here from São João to the Sr. do Calvário festivities in August.

In the heart of Vide, the Alvoco River is crossed by a granite bridge, built in a perfect arch and likely of medieval origin. Among its stones echo the memories of centuries, while the bucolic setting invites one to contemplate the river, the village, and the dreams of bygone times.

Sabugueiro, the village vying for the title of highest in Portugal, is also one of the most authentic ambassadors of mountain life. Among granite houses and comforting flavors (cheese, sausages, roast kid, and honey), you can find the warmth of blankets and burel coats and the company of the faithful Serra da Estrela mountain dogs. Surrounding waterfalls, streams, and lakes remind you that here, nature is as generous as the table.

At over 1,400 meters above sea level, the Rossim Valley Reservoir is a haven of granite, pine trees, and crystal-clear waters in the heart of the Serra da Estrela Mountains. It's the perfect setting for strolls, summer swims, and admiring nature in all its splendor, one of Portugal's highest jewels.

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

A very emblematic town for its skins

The route is monotonous on the way up, but very interesting on the way down, after leaving the road. Be careful: GPS is necessary, with some signage, but not sufficient.
