The European Conference on Trails 2025 will bring together key stakeholders from across Europe — including institutions, trail experts, and outdoor professionals — to discuss innovative strategies for managing and preserving hiking paths and trail networks.
This year’s edition will focus on trail management in the digital age, with special attention to:
How digital tools can enhance user experiences
Supporting sustainable practices
Addressing overtourism on popular trails
Beyond knowledge sharing, the conference will serve as a vital platform for dialogue, aiming to shape a shared European vision of “trails” while fostering alignment of standards and improving recognition across the continent.
