Sports activities

There are plenty of hiking opportunities around our centre. We have worked with a local guide to design various walking routes. Some of them start at the centre and end there, while some end in villages close by (such as Folgosinho or Linhares) from where you can walk back or take a taxi. These hikes’ difficulty level range between easy and medium. Explore the beauty around our centre. Our hikes will range in difficulty level range between easy and medium, and range from around 2 hours to up to 5 hours.

Enjoy the water in the Natural Park of Serra da Estrela in a variety of rivers and lakes where you can swim, kayak and stand up paddle. The variety of wild spots is high and you will find different activities to enjoy the pure water of the region.

There are electronic and regular mountain bikes available for rent. With the e-bikes it is fairly easy to cruise around the hills, while with the regular bikes you can train your stamina around New Life. Whether you would like to cycle to the nearby towns or discover one of our pre-designed biking routes, this activity can be a great way to move your body and recharge your soul. The rental bikes come with a helmet, a pump, a first aid kit, a lock and a GPS device.
