Take photos as go down the valley to observe all different view and the sorrunds, with river right in middle. Nice to relax and just listen, special sitting next to the river, but also has some side views but small for parking 2-3 cars!

This is one of the largest glacier valleys in Europe ( in some books it’s even written that it is European largest one). If you are travelling by car stop at one of the several sightseeing points for admiring it and for taking pictures. If you have a few hours and you like walking do the 17km track. Enjoy!

From Manteigas the road winds up The Valley alongside the river. It is likely one of the most beautiful roads in Portugal. We went both ways up and down after visiting Mount Torre.
If you are in Serra da Estrela this is a definite must!

It was a great advice by the friendly local to use this way on the way towards the south. Great views.

We travelled along this valley and found the views simply stunning. The road is narrow and twisting but the views more than repay the effort. Amazing views.

This is a beautiful glacial valley that covers about 10km from the top of the Serra da Estrela, down towards Manteigas.
The N338 road runs up the side of the valley, providing several opportunities to stop and enjoy the view. It is a very good route to take for those heading up to the highest point of the mountain.

Gostaria de saber estou indo para Manteigas e quero visitar o Vale Glaciar do Zezere e Covão D'Ametade num mesmo dia. Quero saber se com o gps posso colocar o nome do local se chega? Neste dois locais tem estacionamento? Há placas indicativas dos locais? Em outubro a paisagem também compensa? Estará frio? Terá neve?

Olá. Quando fui à Covilhã e subi à Serra da Estrela por Manteigas, a estrada faz passar pelo Vale Glaciar do Zêzere e ao lado do Covão d'Ametade e não será necessário GPS.
A estrada é de montanha, mas passa-se bem e ao longo dela temos vários locais para parar o automóvel, se bem que é aconselhável parar e seguir, apenas para tirar fotos. Descer à base do Vale Glaciar e percorrê-lo será mais demorado.
Para ver o Covão d'Ametade já existe estacionamento, sendo necessário uma deslocação a pé.
Em outubro não terá neve, mas como disse o Paulo, teriam de existir "condições climatéricas muito diferentes do normal".
O Vale Glaciar é apenas a paisagem, não havendo "atividade".
Sim, pode visitar o Vale Glaciar + Covão + Torre, num dia só.

Gostaria de saber se Manteigas é uma boa opção de localização de hospedagem para conhecer a serra da Estrela. Venho direto do Porto

Manteigas é uma boa opção, mas tem oferta limitada. É uma vila pequena mas acolhedora. Bem perto tem a Covilhã que é já uma cidade maior e com uma oferta maior. Depende do tipo de estadia que procura.
