Sameice 최고의 사이클링 경로

São Romão에서 출발하는 환상적이고 매우 외딴 오르막길입니다. 제가 지나갈 때 하부 지역 공사로 인해 차량 통행이 금지되어 있었기 때문에 차는 전혀 없고 자연과 완벽하게 교감할 수 있는 오르막길이었습니다.

Offering breathtaking views of the southeastern slopes of the Serra da Estrela, Cova da Beira, and the charming city of Covilhã, the Varanda dos Carqueijais, which rises 1,130 meters above sea level, is a stunning suspended viewpoint, magnificently perched in the heart of the surrounding natural landscape. The suspended walkway was the best way to provide an excellent experience for visitors, creating a kind of amphitheater, a balcony overlooking the inspiring natural landscape. This viewpoint is an integral part of the viewpoint route, developed by the Municipality of Covilhã, with the aim of promoting the region's natural heritage.

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.

Lagoa Comprida is the largest glacial lake in Serra da Estrela, Portugal, and one of the most iconic spots in the Natural Park. Its name, meaning "Long Lake," perfectly describes its elongated shape, nestled between the surrounding peaks. Originally a glacial lake, it was artificially enlarged with the construction of a dam in the early 20th century for hydroelectric power generation, becoming an important reservoir. Its crystalline waters reflect the sky and the rugged surrounding mountains, creating breathtaking views. It is a popular starting point for hikes and treks to other lagoons and peaks, and offers a sense of grandeur and serenity typical of alpine environments.

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
