TrailWatch

Is your massif open today? TrailWatch checks the regulatory access status (wildfire risk) of Mediterranean forest massifs in southern France before your outing — hiking, trail running, cycling. Today's verdict for your favourite massif, at a glance Tomorrow's forecast as soon as the prefectures publish it (late afternoon) Notifications only when the status changes — closures and reopenings alike "Where to go": nearest open alternatives when your massif is closed Works without GPS: pick your massif by department; positioning is strictly opt-in (no coordinates ever sent without your consent) Offline: last known status for today — never a stale verdict presented as valid Covered departments (France): Alpes-de-Haute-Provence (04), Alpes-Maritimes (06), Bouches-du-Rhône (13), Drôme (26), Gard (30), Hérault (34), Var (83), Vaucluse (84). Source: prefecture maps published via risque-prevention-incendie.fr (Entente Valabre). Each prefecture uses its own scale; TrailWatch shows your prefecture's official status and wording. Informational only: the prefectural order in force is the sole authority. The regulated season runs roughly June to September; off season the status may be "unknown". Requires your phone nearby (Garmin Connect Mobile).
