Walking / Hiking

The Serra da Estrela is the backbone of Portugal, and the highest mountain range at 1993m, where granite spires and mountain pastures characterize the highest peaks in the land. The serra is riddled with a network of footpaths, giving easy access to one of the best walking regions in Portugal. The small, tranquil market towns that surround the serra are comfortable hiking bases. In the Serra da Lousã, enjoy the eerie sensation of exploring mountain hamlets abandoned for decades.
