A few great walks we have enjoyed in the past are below.
-
Valley of the nuns walk -
-
Peak to Peak walk (Pico Do Arieiro / Pico Ruivo)
-
Monte Palace, cable car toboggan and walk. A variety of all these can be done, walk or cable car up to Monte and toboggan down, or cable car up and walk or toboggan down. We are aiming to do the toboggan on Saturday 12th August during the day.
We have left the 11th August loose at the moment as we are not sure how we will all be feeling after the wedding. It may be that we decide to bring the toboggan forward a day.
