TRILHO DO NEVEIRO
Event summary
The 4th edition of Trilho do Neveiro will take place on November 9, 2025, in Castanheira de Pera, Serra da Lousã. Organized by Prazilândia Turismo e Ambiente E.M. with the support of the local municipality, parishes, and volunteer fire brigade, the event promotes the southern slopes of the Serra da Lousã — a unique natural setting for trail running.
The program offers four challenges: the Long Trail (32 km), the Short Trail (19 km), the Mini Trail (10 km), and a 10 km Walk. Set across historical and natural landmarks such as the old snow wells (“neveiros”), the event blends cultural heritage, nature tourism, and endurance sport.
With varied distances, elevation gain, and difficulty levels, the Trilho do Neveiro is designed for trail runners and nature lovers of all profiles, from competitive athletes to recreational walkers.
