Baloiço da Pelariga – Panoramic Swing in Serra de Sicó

Baloiço da Pelariga is a charming panoramic swing located in the hills of Serra de Sicó, near the village of Vérigo in the municipality of Pombal, central Portugal. Installed by the local parish council, this wooden swing sits in a beautiful natural setting near the Serra de Sicó wind turbines, offering impressive views of the surrounding hills and countryside. The location has become a popular stop for mountain bikers, trail runners and hikers exploring the region's scenic trails. For MTB and gravel cyclists, it's an excellent place to take a short break, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and capture memorable photographs. The surrounding mountain terrain also makes reaching the swing part of a rewarding cycling adventure. We visited Baloiço da Pelariga during our Bike Universe cycling tour through Serra de Sicó and Pombal. Whether you're exploring the mountains by bicycle or simply looking for a quiet viewpoint, this hidden gem is well worth discovering. A wonderful combination of mountain scenery, fresh air and a relaxing outdoor experience!
