Overview

Ski resort Serra da Estrela specializes in providing an unparalleled experience for families. With varied terrain (9 ski slopes and 4 ski lifts) and a cozy choice of ski in, ski out accommodation, and plenty of dining, après and evening venues, this ski trip is also great for skiers of all walks of life, not just families.

After a ski lesson or four with one of the highly trained ski and snowboard instructors, you’ll be well on your way to enjoying years of wintertime bliss. OR if you crave a vacation where the lion’s share of terrain is intermediate-rated, we’ve selected the right ski resort for you.

Close your eyes. Breathe in. Breathe out… and take your time to appreciate the immensity that surrounds you. Reaching your destination Penhas da Saúde is like entering the heart of the Serra da Estrela. At an altitude of 1,500 meters, the snow flakes off the triangular roofs, spreading over the vast mountain. The setting invites you to slow down and rebalance your energies.

Note. Snow & ski conditions are entirely subject to natural weather conditions. INODEV does not take responsibility for snow & ski quality.

Highlights

  • Enjoy snow sports (Skiing | Snowboarding | Snowshoeing) in a breathtaking landscape.
  • Play ice track sports (Curling | Ice Hockey | Ice Skating) in the Ice Arena.
  • Feel adrenaline flooding your veins in mountaineering (Climbing | Hiking | Rappelling).
  • Have fun on the "Mountain Adventure" challenge (Orientation | Traditional Games | Group Dynamics).

Itinerary

Pickup from Lisbon airport and transfer to your accommodation in Penhas da Saúde – a small village at 1500m altitude in the beautiful mountain trails, surrounded by breath-taking flora and fauna and nestled in the Serra da Estrela Natural Park. For the next six nights you will enjoy after a busy day on the slopes—a place where you can engage fully with the natural elements of Serra da Estrela.

Day 2 :

Strap on your skis or snowboard to check out this stunning alpine landscape.

Get ready for a true all day adventure at the ski resort.

For beginners, you can take advantage of ski/snowboard training sessions with a certified instructor. The day continues with a lively evening and an optional ice sport (Curling | Ice Hockey | Ice Skating) of your choice at the Ice Arena.

Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned pro, ask your Trip Leader for the best slopes for you – then hit the powder!

You'll earn your turns at Milhafre slope! After a 15 to 20-minute hike to the first rope tow, learn the techniques you'll need to get started on these slopes. An evening of entertainment and an optional ice sport (Curling | Ice Hockey | Ice Skating) of your choice follow at the rink.
