Pena Grande de Anamão stands out among the Portuguese mountains that shape the horizon of the Peneda-Gerês National Park. Rising to 1,293 metres, it is an excellent example of the granite landscape that characterises these border mountains. Its slopes, covered with heathland and mountain scrub, provide refuge for a wide variety of wildlife adapted to high-altitude conditions and a climate strongly influenced by the Atlantic.
From the Mirador do Pisco, visitors can appreciate the natural continuity of the terrain between the Portuguese and Galician mountains, which together form a single natural system of outstanding ecological value. The view of this peak reveals a landscape where geology, biodiversity and natural processes have evolved together over millions of years, creating one of the most important protected areas in south-western Europe.
