Between 1 June and 30 September, access to, movement within and presence of people in forest areas are regulated by prefectural decree.

Depending on the weather conditions, 2 levels are defined each day:

-Green : Acces, circulation, presence of persons permitted all the day

-Red : Acces, circulation, presence of persons forbiden all the day

For information on these restrictions, please consult the forest access map. It is updated daily at 5 p.m. for the following day.
