Penhas de Saude

(Pass by)

Penhas da Saúde (Category Villages in Protected Areas) Located at an altitude of around 1500m, Penhas da Saúde is located in the heart of Serra da Estrela, surrounded by fauna and flora that make you take your breath away. The charm of Penhas da Saúde is not exhausted, however, in the white mantle that invades the horizon in the winter months. With the melting of the snow in mid-April, new colors appear in the landscape, unique tones that are unmissable for anyone who wants to feel nature. Despite being an eminently tourist location, with several hotel structures and close to the Ski Resort, it maintains the spirit of a mountain community, where tourist modernity lives side by side with nature. Set out to discover mountain trails, enjoy a mountain bike ride or simply contemplate the mountain through the silence that only nature allows.

Great guides sharing stories, stunning views and knowledge of the Serra da Estrela. We had a wonderful experience and saw all fascinating highlights of the area and had it all explained. We both had time with the guides - and some time to explore the top of Serra Da Estrela on our own.

The park and the sights were amazing, they are worth the detour by Covilha! Delicious tasting of local cheeses, liquors and meat. Our guide Alex also explained the history of the region which was very interesting and completed the tour

Lugar impressionante, muito alto, muita curva para chegar ao topo, porém tem piscinas naturais, entre as montanhas , e pedras, que são deslumbrantes. Leve sempre uma blusa ,lá venta absurdamente, há pistas de esqui, para quem for no inverno .
