SAFETY NOTICE \u2014 In case of adverse weather conditions and hazards on the terrain<\/strong><\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span><\/b>
\nFollowing the winter storms of 2026 and soil saturation, occasional and unpredictable incidents<\/strong> 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. <\/p>\n
