Activating Trails

ACTIVATING TRAILS IN THE CANARY ISLANDS

THE EU ERDF PROJECT “ACTIVATION PLAN FOR THE REGIONAL TRAIL NETWORK”. HAS AT ONE OF ITS GOAL THE IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF RISKS IN THE TRAILS OF THE CANARY ISLANDS, THROUGH A HOMOGENEOUSRISK PARAMETERIZATION METHODOLOGY FOR ALL THE CANARY ISLANDS, THAT WILL ALLOW TO INTERCONNECT THE ISLAND NETWORKS.

Due to the significant increase and development of activities in the natural environment, where hiking takes on special relevance, the Government of the Canary Islands consider important to keep the user informed, in order tomeet the increasing information demand.

With the promotion of the "Activation Plan for the regional trail network", the protection, development and promotion of natural areas is sought.Included in this plan is a methodology of identification and characterization of risks in Canary Islands Trail that has been agreed with the Cabildos and the National Parks in Canary Islands. In order to accomplish this, more than 4000 km of trails have been covered, which has allowed its evaluation and optimization.

IDENTIFICATION

In order to identify the risks in Canary Islands Trails, we have started from the selected parameters, identifying and evaluating both the internal and external risks in different sections, routes and trails.

INTERNAL TRAIL RISKS

EXTERNAL TRAIL RISKS

Risks you may encounter on the trails.

The diversity of landscapes in the Canary Islands, with ravines, washes, badlands, subtropical forests and high altitude habitats, offers an exciting and unique experience to be enjoyed.

To improve your journey, it is important that you know how to identify the difficulties you may encounter due to the characteristics of the trails. It is a good hiking practice.

Risks you may encounter in the trail environment.

Near the routes and next to the trails, there are facilities that may arouse your curiosity, or terrain features that could affect your safety.

To enhance your experience, it is important that you know how to identify the difficulties you may encounter in the trail environment. It is a good hiking practice.

A SHARED PROJECT

We have worked together with various institutions to agree on a methodology that identifies and characterizes the trails that you can know or visit in the Canary Islands.
