O Turismo de Natureza é um dos principais fatores que fazem de Portugal um destino de excelência, de qualidade e de prestígio. Destacando-se de todo o território nacional, a Serra da Estrela tem um riquíssimo património natural, único no país e que se transfigura nas diferentes estações do ano.
No ponto mais alto de Portugal Continental, encontramos distintas paisagens e diversos habitats naturais que, aliados ao clima que se faz sentir durante o ano, criam as condições necessárias para o desenvolvimento de uma extensa variedade de atividades por locais como montanha, estuários, escarpas, lagoas ou planícies. A biodiversidade da fauna e flora, assim como, a qualidade e diversidade paisagística proporcionam a realização de Turismo de Natureza ao longo de todo o ano. No inverno, devido à presença da neve, é possível fazer esqui e snowboard, utilizando a estância de esqui. No verão, surge a oportunidade de fazer caminhadas por percursos pedestres e desfrutar da paisagem montanhosa ou escalar nas vias já conhecidas do Cântaro Magro ou Covão D’Ametade, como por exemplo. Na região da Serra da Estrela, a gastronomia é ímpar, conhecida pelos seus paladares intensos e que, aliada à atmosfera envolvente, contribui para o aumento da atração turística. Apesar de estar em vias de extinção, a prática da pastorícia e da transumância fazem parte da componente cultural que tão bem carateriza esta região.
São estes os fatores dinamizadores e impulsionadores do turismo na Serra da Estrela e que suportam a importância de investir em instalações que suportem o Turismo de Natureza.
Desta forma, esta dissertação e proposta de projeto irá abordar, em primeiro lugar, a importância do sector do turismo, a sua evolução ao longo dos últimos anos e o seu papel no desenvolvimento de Portugal. De seguida, irá analisar as caraterísticas e as potencialidades que o Turismo de Natureza tem em Portugal, mais particularmente na Serra da Estrela, refletindo acerca de estratégias para o seu crescimento. Esta análise é fundamental para explorar todas as variáveis que justifiquem a pertinência da proposta de intervenção. Através do restauro das edificações da área de intervenção e da criação de novos volumes, tentar-se-á fazer jus ao nome e identidade da Serra da Estrela, proporcionando um contacto direto com a natureza e com as sensações que dela advém.
Nature Tourism is one of the principle factors that makes Portugal a destination of excellence, quality and prestige. Standing out from the national territory as a whole is Serra da Estrela, a unique area with a rich natural heritage, which is transfigured throughout the different seasons of the year. At the highest point of mainland Portugal we find different landscapes and diverse natural habitats. Together with the climate, these areas have the necessary conditions for the development of a wide variety of activities in places such as mountains, estuaries, escarpments, ponds or plains. The biodiversity of the fauna and flora, as well as the quality and diversity of the landscape, provides opportunities for Nature Tourism throughout the year. In winter, due to the presence of snow, it is possible to go skiing and snowboarding, using the ski resort. In the summer, there is the opportunity to take walks on footpaths and enjoy the mountainous landscape or climb the already known routes of the Cântaro Magro or Covão D'Ametade. In the region of Serra da Estrela the gastronomy is unique. It is known for its intense palates which, when combined with the surrounding atmosphere, has contributed to the increase in attraction for tourists. Despite being extinct, the practices of pastoralism and transhumance are part of the cultural component that so well characterises this region. These are the driving factors of tourism in Serra da Estrela, which supports the importance of investing in facilities that support Nature Tourism. In this way, this dissertation and project proposal will address, firstly, the importance of the tourism sector, its evolution over the last years and also its role in the development of Portugal. Next, it will analyse the characteristics and potential that Nature Tourism has in Portugal, particularly in Serra da Estrela, by reflecting on strategies for its growth. This analysis is fundamental to fully explore all the variables that justify the pertinence of the intervention proposal. Through the restoration of buildings in the intervention area and the creation of new volumes, it will attempt to live up to the name and identity of the Serra da Estrela; providing a direct contact with nature and with the sensory experiences that it offers.
