• During the last few years, a number of trails have been built which facilitate access by these persons to the region’s natural áreas

As a result of the collaboration agreement between the Fundación La Caixa and the regional Government of Aragón, and with the use of Feder funds by the later, in the last few years a number of infrastructural works have been carried out, such as trails and viewpoints, which meeting the regulation in force in the above mentioned region, guarantee the access by persons with reduced mobility to different natural areas.

This infrastructures are linked to the social development and environmental education in several protected areas, such as the Natural Park de la Sierra y los Cañones de Guara and the National Park of Ordesa, both located on the Huesca province, and the Protected Landscape of Pinares del Rodeno, in the province of Teruel.

The basic characteristics which these trails meet are a reduced longitudinal slope, or around 6%, and transversal, of about 2%; a strong walking surface, made with highly cohesive materials, either printed concrete, compacted sands, or surfaces of rubber, among others, and the delimitation of the breadth of the trails with curbs.

For the viewpoints, besides the above mentioned surfaces, the maximum heights are observed, both for the handrails for protection and for the tables and the thematic posters.

Among the works carried out by TRAGSA in Aragón are the following:

• The accessible trail pradera de Ordesa (Huesca),
• The accessible trail de Dornaque (Teruel),
• The accessible trail Navazo (Teruel),
• The viewpoints of Belsué, Morrano, Alquézar and Balcés.

On this website of the asociación Equalitas Vitae it is possible to consult the accessible infrastructures in Nature existing in the Iberian Peninsula.
