Hotels in Serra da Estrela, Portugal

Serra da Estrela is Portugal's highest mountain range, located in the central-northern part of the country, famous for its starry skies and the creamy Queijo da Serra cheese. Winters are cold with snow, often dropping to 25°F (-4°C), making it the only place in Portugal where you can ski at the Torre ski resort, while summers are mild at 75°F (24°C), perfect for hiking the glacial valleys and spotting wild goats in the Serra da Estrela Natural Park. In spring, you can visit the historic village of Manteigas and taste the cheese at local farms, then at night join a guided stargazing tour at the observatory near Torre.
