Starting and finishing in the city of Seia, the West Stage 2 runs along the western slopes of Serra da Estrela, passing through the village of Manteigas, before climbing to Penhas Douradas, and then returning to Seia.

This circuit is marked by the conquest of the highest point in mainland Portugal (Torre), climbing from Seia to Torre along the charismatic Srª do Desterro road. The older tarmac of this road brings an additional challenge to this initial climb.

The final descent to Seia, with all the scenery that opens up to the west, is the deserved reward for the brave ones who accept this challenge.
