Warning Map

Rota Vicentina is a leading hiking and cycling destination. Along its Walking and Cycling Trails, the safety and well-being of our visitors are a priority. Now, the warning map helps visitors better prepare for a trip to the Southwest Region.

This map brings together all important alerts about the Rota Vicentina Walking and Cycling Trails. Instead of searching for information stage by stage, you can now access a single map showing alerts, incidents and any trail closures. The aim is to support safer and more informed navigation.

SAFETY NOTICE — In case of adverse weather conditions and hazards on the terrain

Following the winter storms of 2026 and soil saturation, occasional and unpredictable incidents may occur along the Rota Vicentina trails, particularly in watercourses with high flow, flooded sections, fallen trees, and slope/cliff instability, which may lead to landslides. In these cases, we recommend postponing hiking and cycling routes, especially in valley areas, river crossings, and sections exposed to wind and rough sea conditions.

SAFETY NOTICE 02/07/2026 — Very high wildfire risk

The Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere forecasts hot and dry weather in the coming days, with an increase in rural wildfire risk. Exercise extra caution! Follow the recommendations of the authorities.

Before any activity, please consult:

🔺 Warning Map of Rota Vicentina (operational information from the field);
🔺 IPMA alerts and forecasts (weather conditions and sea state);
🔺 Civil Protection public alerts (recommendations and risk guidance);
🔺 Flood alerts / InfoÁgua (APA) (flood events).

Even with improving weather conditions, risks may persist for several days due to saturated soils and obstacles along the trail.

This map is continuously updated. The information provided here comes from user reports, the Rota Vicentina Association’s network of members, and on-site maintenance team inspections. If you have relevant information to report about trail conditions, please fill out the reporting form.
