the closer you get to Torre,the greater the likelihood of finding the town and surrounds covered in snow.

"Due to its proximity to [the] Torre it is much more likely that the village will be completely covered with snow."

Town would be OK, say, for Manteigas, which is pretty far from Torre; but I believe they are talking about a small village. Village is likely the far better choice, modulo exact context.

: de acordo com você a respeito de Torre, se não me engano é a estância de esqui da Serra da Estrela (região dos meus pais). Não dou minha opinião sobre seu inglês pois não sou qualificada para tanto :-)
