The trails are divided into three difficulty levels: easy, medium, hard. Some basic safety rules must be followed. When you choose a trail, you need to take some particular factors into account; you can only hike some of the trails with a specialised guide, while other trails are recommended only in specific periods of the year. Please mark down the main safety precautions that must be followed.

 

- Check the weather forecast for the day and time of your hiking trip.

- Let someone know where you are going and when you are planning to return.

- Choose your equipment in accordance with the season, for instance raingear, a hat, adequate foot wear and clothing, sunglasses and sunscreen.

- When packing your food, favour water and fruit.

- Always follow the flagged course.

- Remember that the amount of time indicated for each trail is based on a non-stop hike.

- Read the trail map and the instructions carefully.

- Choose a trail that is adequate to your physical condition.

- Remember that there is no mobile phone coverage in many trails.

- The trail’s informative boards provide information on the closest fire services.
