Azores1 app guide
Trail statuses
How do I see if an Azores trail is open in the Azores1 app?
Short answer
Tap the Trails tile. The routes of the official Azores trails register are listed for the island you are looking at, each with today's status - open, under maintenance or closed - mirrored daily, and its length, time and difficulty. A trail's page shows where it starts and gives directions.
Where to find it
The Trails tile on the home sheet. Trail pages ask you to sign in with a free account.
Step by step
- 1Choose the island with the pill at the top left, then tap Trails and sign in if asked.
- 2Filter with the chips: All, Open now, Easy, Medium or Hard.
- 3Tap a trail for its status, length, time and difficulty.
- 4Tap Directions for the start in Apple Maps or Google Maps.
- 5Scroll for Route facts, Before you go and the official trail page; the route is drawn on the map.
Good to know
- Many trails are linear: the Shared rides section on a trail page finds a ride to the start or back from the end.
- Turn on Trail closures in the alerts settings to be told when a trail closes or reopens.
- The last known status stays on the phone without signal.
- The app is not a step-by-step hiking navigator.
Questions
- Do Azores trails need booking?
- The register's trails are free to walk; the app shows the official status and any notes the register publishes.
