Yes. Entry to Peneda-Gerês National Park is free: there is no ticket office, pass or entrance fee. Some activities with certified operators and facilities such as campsites have their own fees.

See the Trails & Activities page, where we show the status of each route, or contact the Caldas do Gerês Visitor Centre. During periods of high wildfire risk (June–October), some trails may be closed by ICNF.

The park's Visitor Centres provide information and trail maps. Digitally, you can use AllTrails or Wikiloc to download GPX routes for offline use. 1:25,000 military maps (CIGeoE) are sold in specialist bookshops.

The Visitor Centres are usually open Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 am to 5:30 pm, and closed on Mondays and public holidays. In July and August opening hours may be extended — always confirm by phone before you go.

In case of fire, an accident or a medical emergency, call 112 immediately. You can also contact the SOS Environment and Territory line (808 200 520) or the GNR in Terras de Bouro (+351 253 390 450). In areas without signal, move to higher ground or a spot with coverage before calling.
