The first day of winter brought snow to Serra da Estrela. There were embarrassments, but also a lot of fun for dozens of families who took advantage of the mountains.
It’s official, we’re already in winter and Serra da Estrela dressed in white to mark the date. The result is a stunning landscape, but one that hides some constraints.
The roads were cut above 1600 meters and, therefore, access to the central massif was prohibited. Those who did not take precautions experienced difficulties.
Mid-morning, the weather helped and brought the mountains hundreds of families who took advantage of Sunday to have fun. In addition to people, snow also brings business. In one of the local restaurants, regional products are the main attractionbut with the snow everything gets easier.
Snow, at this time of year, so close to Christmas, creates a legitimate concern in little Constança.
“I think it’s going to be a difficult landing. With all this snow, the sled will still go astray.”
Serra da Estrela is a destination for many families in Christmas and New Yearrecording a rate of occupancy close to 100%although the prices are not for all wallets.
