SLEEPING IN A YURT AT SERRA DA ESTRELA

The Serra da Estrela (Mountain Range of the Star) is the highest mountain range in Continental Portugal, with more than 6,500 feet high. There are many activities you can do at Serra da Estrela such as skiing, relaxing in natural pools, in the fluvial beach or go out to nightclubs. But one of the newest experiences is resting at a yurt in an EcoResort.

The Vale do Rossim offers you this experience by lodging you at yurts, inspired in the central Asia traditional ones. They’re similar to tents, but their structure resists to bad weather. Every yurt has a hydromassage bath and a salamandra - a heating system with firewood. The resort also has SPA services, a lounge bar and a restaurant where you can taste the typical Portuguese dishes. The Serra da Estrela cheese is an appetizer you should not miss!
