Acces rules to the mountain range

Between the 1st of June until the 30th of September, access, traffic and the presence of persons as well as work in forest areas are regulated by prefectoral decree.

Depending on the weather conditions, 4 levels are defined each day:

• Green : Acces, circulation, presence of persons permitted all the day
  
• Yellow : Acces, circulation, presence of persons permitted all the day
  
• Orange : Acces, circulation, presence of persons permitted all the day
  
• Red : Acces, circulation, presence of persons forbiden all the day

To find out about these restrictions, you can consult the map of access to the massifs. It is updated every day at 6pm for the following day, and covers 90 communes. Each massif is indicated, including the Alpilles massif (no. 3), with access determined by weather and drought conditions.

To keep walkers informed about how to access the forest areas of Bouches-du-Rhône, the département has set up a voice server on 0811 20 13 13 (call surcharged €0.06/min) and a mobile application called ‘myProvence Envie de balade’. The voice server and the application are updated daily and information is set for the following day by 6pm at the latest. For more information: www.bouches-du-rhone.gouv.fr
