The experiences are offered throughout the vast surrounding region, with an emphasis on the “Vale Glaciar de Alforfa” trails at the heart of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park.
From a simple walk taking around one hour, to the “Grandes Rotas” (“big hikes”) which will take a whole day; or orienteering activities and mountain-bike circuits featuring specific cultural highlights; all of this and more is available starting from the front entrance of H2otel.
And there are plenty more activities available, such as: Jeep tours, thematic tours (cheese-tasting; cherry groves in blossom; cherry picking; vineyards on the riverbank; and Magusto de S. Martinho tours), Peddy Paper tours, museum visits, activity programmes for our older residents, multi-activity tours (slides, climbing, abseiling, high-ropes and traditional games).
Our informative guides can help you to get around and accompany you on your trip for a range of different activities, specialising in entertainment, tourism, sports and adventure activities. Guides are available one-to-one or for groups to accompany you during your activities, and to offer any technical support that might be required.
“Canada dos Pastores” Walking Route
This 9-km route has an estimated duration of 2 hours and follows a route with only moderate slopes along the banks of the river Unhais da Serra, known as the “Ribeira Estrela”: the route boasts a phenomenal rural landscape where irrigated pastures and subsistence agriculture give way to the immense bush that makes up the scattered vegetation.
Nature Emotions can provide clothes and shoes for special weather conditions, even offering a free backpack* so that you can pack a picnic kit prepared by our very own chef.
