It is technically possible to share a route even if it is not officially marked. However, this type of route carries risks for other hikers and can impact nature. That is why we ask you to be very careful before submitting it for publication.
Absolutely to Avoid
Trails located on private property
Dangerous or hazardous areas
Unauthorised paths in protected areas (national parks, nature reserves, etc.)
Best Practices
Only suggest safe and accessible routes
Always check local regulations
By following these rules, you contribute to everyone's safety and the preservation of natural environments 🌱
🌿 Adopting the right habits to protect nature
When you suggest a route off the official trails, preserving local biodiversity is our top priority. Repeated use of a sensitive area can disturb wildlife or accelerate soil erosion.
To help you prepare for your outing, adopt the right behaviors in the field (waste management, trail sharing, swimming regulations), and minimize your impact, we’ve created a practical guide dedicated to eco-responsibility.
