The present short study discusses relevant issues linked to the implementation and management of a modern service suitable to overcome the limits of the existing web sites about trials. The proposed solution, fully based on open source software, intercepts the understandable expectations of the natural area hikers that wish to be supported in the selection of paths that best fit their profile and motivations, hopefully by keeping away from accident hazards and/or health risks during the excursion.
