| Centre | A separate desk timetable, still labelled 2025: 9:00-14:00 and 15:00-17:00 (winter) or until 18:00 (23 Mar–31 Aug), with year-end closures. | Park «Servicios» page |
| Notices | Same-day closures, events, SPA, rain. On 14/09/2026: Perimetral–El Paso closed, Cortinillas closed, 2026 SPA limit, raid on 23/10/2026. | Notices and recommendations |
A closed desk does not always close the park, and an “open” park does not open a closed track. Check all three.

Access and notices
Check before you leave
The official notices page remains the reference for changes. On 14 September 2026 it still listed the closure of the Cabezo de Cortinillas path because of rockfall. An old photograph from the summit does not mean climbing is allowed.
Notices can change after our check. The absence of an alert on Vive Bardenas does not mean every access is open.

These details belong to the park authority, not to Vive Bardenas. Confirm the centre’s hours for your date: the page we consulted still showed a calendar labelled 2025.
