O maciço montanhoso da Serra da Estrela apresenta-se como um alto planalto inclinado para Nordeste, profundamente recortado pelos vales dos rios e ribeiros que nele têm origem.
Sendo essencialmente granítico - se bem que nele ocorram largas manchas de xisto - o aspecto mais marcante da paisagem do planalto superior é a presença dos afloramentos rochosos, sejam as vigorosas fragas, rochedos e penhascos, sejam os caos de blocos, sejam os depósitos de vertente ou cascalheiras.
Em toda a sua área são inúmeros os vestígios da acção glaciar, designadamente os vales em U do Zêzere e de Unhais, sucedendo-se blocos erráticos, as moreias, os covões e os lagos e lagoas naturais.
