Apologies for not giving you a 'proper' translation here, but there's no need to literally translate "cota" here.
All The Best,

...compreende todas as áreas situadas acima da **cota** de 100 m do Maciço da Pedra Branca = comprises all areas located above the 100m elevation of the Pedra Branca range. Isto quer dizer qualquer coisa ACIMA de 100m, não "all areas located 100 m above" que limitaria as áreas tão somente às localizadas a 100 m de altura, excluindo todas as mais elevadas.

Discussion
My suggestion is good.
If you translate it as "all areas at 100 m above..." you will limit these areas to those at exactly 100 m. But the text refers to all areas above 100 m, to infinity.
