With the Alto Douro Wine Region as accompaniment, the route leaves the Vila Galé Hotel and takes you onto the mountains that evolve the Douro region, swifting along through amazing landscapes.
The route will make you climb up through a very unique area of our country, where the river and the vineyards will take you to another dimension. Crossing some small villages you will reach to a wonderful dam called Vilar and you’re still away from any city.
At km 68 you will find the 6D “feeding-zone” of this stage and where you can collect your 6D bars and your Water Bottle. 64 km to go…
Until km 100, you can experience a fast paced ride, and enjoy the landscape. Here, you will meet the National Park of Serra da Estrela and suddenly the route changes dramatically and tit will take you to a long and challenging climb with tremendous views over the Park. But that’s not enough. Because in Folgosinho, you will have a well deserved descent… and what a descent!!!!! to Manteigas.where you meet the Vila Galé Serra da Estrela Hotel and so you can rest and relax while you enjoy the facilities and feel the heartbeat of the Serra da Estrela, the highest mountain of Portugal.
