Well, this could all be made a reality according to SIC Notícias, who revealed that Turistrela is funding a project to promote the sport and the practice of skiing outside of Serra da Estrela.

Speaking with SIC Noticías, the president of Turistrela, Artur Costa Pais, clarified that they want to install ski slopes in other parts of the country and that they want to invest in cannons that allow snow to be made at temperatures above 0º degrees.

They would complement what already exists to reinforce Serra da Estrela as the only snow destination in the country. To achieve this, “municipalities would need to open up large urban and tourist centers” he explained.

“Indoor ski slopes like these operate all year round, which also exists in Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain ”, says Artur Costa Pais, president of Turiestrela.

“It is a challenge that we are going to make to the municipalities so that they can provide us with conditions in terms of land, access and infrastructure”, concluded Costa Pais.
