Vereda do Fanal
OpenLast checked October 26, 2026
A high crossing on the ER 209 above the Paul da Serra, from Assobiadores to the Fanal, 10.8 km in four hours. It stays between 1420 m and 1130 m, so it is fully exposed to whatever the plateau weather is doing. IFCN grades it medium, and both ends are on the same road.
