Riding down the tracks of the Serra da Lousã means experiencing a rush of pure adrenaline, amidst beautiful and breathtaking landscapes and a range of wild animals, for here you can easily come across a roebuck or a red deer, or see a kite flying overhead.

Taking the paths along the mountain ridges, from the hilltop villages to the castle or crossing over the Monte de Trevim, allows bikers to follow the trails made by wild boars.

In Castanheira de Pêra, it is worth taking some time to discover the banks of the Ribeira das Quelhas from Coentral onwards.

Other exciting emotions can be experienced if you choose to go paragliding, rock climbing or abseiling. Mountain athletics and orienteering are other examples of activities that can be enjoyed in the region, and there are already several companies offering activities in these areas.
