Safety and fun : our priority
Plan your next outdoor trip carefully.
Safety first : I share my itinerary and planned times with someone close to me for shared peace of mind. I use our mobile app to check the condition of the route before I set off
Check your equipment : make sure it's in good condition and suitable for the activity you're undertaking. Helmet required for cycling and mountain biking
Weather conditions : I check the weather forecast to prepare and make the most of my trip. Routes can be dangerous in bad weather Hydratation is essential : jI need to carry enough water. Some of the stages in the villages allow you to stop at a bar or café for refreshment, but most of the fountains in the hinterland do not have drinking water and there are no water points in the Agriate region. You should also take some food with you.
All sections of the route on public roads are subject to the Highway Code. Make sure you obey them.
On the paths: enjoy while preserving
Gates and fences: I make sure I close the gates on the paths to respect private land and pastures.Respect for nature: I respect the environment by not leaving rubbish on the paths. I will sort it out on my way home. I stay on the paths and respect the natural and agricultural environment I pass through.
Pets: If I walk with a dog, I make sure it doesn't go near the herds. I may even keep it on a lead to avoid any incidents.
CHunting: During the hunting season, especially when wild boar are hunted from mid-August to May, I have to be vigilant. If a hunt is in progress, I take the time to talk to the hunters to ensure everyone's safety.
Approaching animals: I walk around herds or let them pass. If I see wild animals, I admire them from a distance to preserve their natural habitat.
Protected areas: preserving natural treasures
Vallée du Reginu (Natura 2000 site): I admire the biodiversity while respecting the restrictions to preserve this unique but fragile ecosystem, where the red kite has flourished for many years.
The Agriate (Conservatoire du Littoral): protected by the Conservatoire du Littoral, the Agriate is a natural jewel. I follow the recommended itineraries and do not bivouac or light fires.
Losari (Conservatoire du Littoral): I explore the uncontaminated beauty of Losari, following the recommended itineraries and avoiding any disturbance to the flora and fauna.
Ostriconi: I contribute to the preservation of this fragile ecosystem by avoiding any behaviour likely to disturb the flora and fauna.
