Plan well your travel This summer, tourists and bikers should especially carefully select and plan routes. Due to the extremely bad weather that hit Trentino last fall, the forest was damaged across the region. This is especially visible in the eastern part of the region. Restoration works of forests and trails were started immediately and will last the whole summer. However, some routes may still not be available. Special signs indicating temporarily inaccessible paths are being installed in the damaged areas. Updates on the accessibility of the trails are posted on the Visit Trentino website www.visittrentino.info/mca. You can also get this information from the local Apt tourist information offices (Azienda di promozione turistica).
