Sports and leisure activities Vallée du Douro

This is a 9.3 km bicycle or pedestrian path stretching from Amarante to Chapa. This section is part of the "Linha do Tâmaga" ecotour, which follows an old railway line, now out of service. Ideal for families to discover the banks of the Tâmega River. This ecotour offers beautiful views. There are benches all along the route for resting. There are also rubbish bins and fairly constant lighting when it is dark. The section of Amarante was built in 2010, there is even an extension of 12 km for the bravest.

Close to the Douro wine valley, the Amarante golf course is located only 45 minutes from Porto. Located in the heart of a preserved nature and offering a breathtaking view of the Douro wine region, the Amarante golf course is a wise choice for those who seek peace and quiet. Set in an extraordinary landscape with magnificent views of the Marão mountain, one of the highest in Portugal, the Amarante golf course also includes several waterfalls. Practice range, pro-shop and swimming pool complete the services.
