Vereda da Lagoa do Vento

OpenLast checked October 27, 2026

A short branch from the Rabaçal shelter down to the Lagoa do Vento, 1.8 km each way and 3.6 km in total. IFCN grades it easy and allows an hour and a half. The official sheet gives no usable altitude figures for this one, so the facts above are limited to what it does state.

Before you go

  • Walking a classified trail requires a paid reservation through the regional SIMplifica portal. The official trail pages list the fee as 4.50 € per visitor over 12; children of 12 and under are exempt. Book before you set off. Reserve on SIMplifica
  • This route is walked to the end and back the same way, so the length and time above are for one direction.
