Taking steps for responsible walking

Our commitment to a unified risk methodology on trails, in the innovation of the experience for our large community of hikers.

And, as a test for its application, we offer you a network of pilot trails where you can give us your feedback to optimise it. All together for responsible walking.

Internal trail risks

On the path you walk.

FALLS ON SAME LEVEL SURFACES
Because of the surface or its cover: loose terrain, stones, pine needles, or because of gentle slopes or climatic factors you can fall to the ground, pay attention to the path.

Watch the video
FALLS ON DIFERENT LEVEL SURFACES
On paths with steep slopes or steep terrain, you can suffer a fall from height. Avoid reckless behaviour.

Watch the video
STRUCK BY OR AGAINST OBJECTS

External trail risks

In the vicinity of the footpath.

MASS MOVEMENTS
Due to the characteristics of the terrain or the materials, there are sections of paths where landslides may occur. You must be more attentive.

Watch the video
ELECTRIC INFRASTRUCTURES
If there are infrastructures or elements of information, transport or electricity distribution near the path, do not approach it, be cautious and never leave the path.

Watch the video
HYDRAULIC INFRASTRUCTURES
If there are ponds, reservoirs, canals, wells, galleries or other construction elements related to hydraulic engineering near the trail, be careful! Never leave the path.
