The Highest Swing, Torre of Serra da Estrela, Loriga

Nestled high in the Serra da Estrela, in the charming town of Seia, Portugal, awaits a truly remarkable experience – the Baloiço o mais Alto, the highest panoramic swing in the country. Located at an impressive 1,993 meters above sea level, this unique attraction offers a perspective unlike any other.

Part of the renowned A Torre restaurant, this incredible swing is completely free to access, welcoming all visitors who seek an unforgettable adventure. It’s a recent addition, inaugurated on June 23rd, marking a significant moment for both the restaurant and the surrounding landscape. Imagine gently swaying on a heart-shaped swing, taking in the spectacular, panoramic views of the valleys and mountains stretching out below.

The swing’s design cleverly incorporates the Serra da Estrela’s name, featuring a star at the top – “o mais alto” – signifying its elevated position. While open year-round, the swing is temporarily secured during the heaviest snowfall in winter. It’s a perfect destination for nature lovers and those seeking a truly special moment, adding a vibrant new dimension to your visit to this beautiful region. You can reach the restaurant by autocarro or car, and enjoy a delicious meal afterwards, immersing yourself further in the local gastronomy.
