Hiking
The Beteta region has a wide network of marked trails that will help you to get into the territory and discover it.
Many of them are low difficulty routes, didactic with interpretive panels, simple and designed to enjoy nature with the family; other trails are old historical paths, used in the past by the inhabitants of the mountains of medium difficulty for more experienced hikers; there are also sport routes with significant slopes and long duration, in which the effort made is more than rewarded by the magnificent views offered by the march.
The physical and technical requirements of the routes are evaluated according to the MIDE system (Method of Excursion Information) which evaluates from 1 to 5 points (from less to more) the following aspects of difficulty: severity and risks of the environment, orientation in the itinerary, difficulty in the displacement, amount of effort required. You will have to do them with responsibility, because of the risks and difficulties of moving in the natural environment.
