The queen stage summits the Torre (Cat. 1), at 2,000 metres the highest point in mainland Portugal and a landmark climb of the Volta a Portugal.
From Gouveia the peloton tackles Folgosinho (Cat. 3) early on, then reaches the roof of the Serra da Estrela via Covilhã and the Penhas da Saúde. The finish in Guarda, the highest city in Portugal, demands one final uphill effort from Maçainhas.
