Serra da Estrela small-group day trip from Porto

Get back to nature in the highest mountain range in Portugal on a day trip to Serra da Estrela from Porto. Discover a winter wonderland on arrival, especially when the snow covers most of the mountains in December and January. Marvel at the extraordinary flora and fauna, and be amazed by the colossal Cântaro Magro formed during the last Ice Age. Get a better understanding of the cultural, historic, and gastronomic wealth of the region, and try local cheese and sausages in the traditional supermarket stores of Serra. Go to the Museu do Pão (Bread Museum) in Seia to learn about traditional bread making. Enjoy scenic views of the Lagoa Comprida and the Torre mountain peak in Serra da Estrela Natural Park. Go for a sleigh on the snow(if weather permits), or take the chairlift (optional and subject to an extra fee).
