The Institute of Forests and Nature Conservation (IFCN) has announced the closure of the pedestrian routes PR 1 – Vereda do Areeiro, PR 1.1 – Vereda da Ilha, and PR 1.2 – Vereda do Pico Ruivo, due to hail and snow in the mountainous regions.
In addition to the trails, several roads are impassable, namely the forest road that connects Eira do Serrado to Pico do Areeiro, as well as the regional roads between Pico das Pedras and Achada do Teixeira and between Poço da Neve and Areeiro.
In view of the adverse conditions, the institute calls for compliance with Civil Protection guidelines and asks everyone to be sensible.
