The Covão da Ametade is one of the most beautiful and symbolic places of the Serra da Estrela.

It is located at the beginning of the Zêzere Glacial Valley where the river Zêzere takes shape in the small plain originating from glacial sediment that was previously a pond with the same origin.

It is a very attractive area due to the surrounding vegetation mainly composed of birches, this plant which has the particularity to create an ecosystem with rich biodiversity.

Despite the place being at an altitude close to 1500 meters above sea level, it is just not accessible in the most rigorous winter days when the roads do not allow passage due to snowfall. This location is sought after by winter sports and mountain who choose to get this area for hiking and climbing along the rocky formations.
