Azores trail closures
Which of the official PR walking routes are open, restricted or closed right now.
11 classified trails: 2 closed, none with restrictions, 9 fully open.
The PR routes are the signposted, maintained trilhos that the regional government has classified. The regional environment department closes them after storms, fires and landslides and reopens them once the path has been cleared and checked, so a route that was fine last month can be shut this week. The list below mirrors the official status page once a day.
Closed(2)
Do not walk these. The closure is enforced and the path may be blocked or washed away.
