The key trail_visibility=* is used as part of a classification scheme for hiking trails and paths.
This key describes attributes regarding trail visibility (not route visibility) and orientation.
It is based on the classification of the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) (german). See sac_scale=* for the attributes regarding difficulty.
How to map
Add the key trail_visibility=* to a way with one of the following primary feature tags:
Values

|---|---|---|---|
| trail_visibility=excellent | Unambiguous path or markers everywhere | None, orientation unproblematic, no map required | |
| trail_visibility=good | Path or next marker always visible, but sometimes has to be searched for. | Basic sense of direction, map recommended | |
| trail_visibility=intermediate | Path mostly visible | Good sense of direction, map required | |
| trail_visibility=bad | Path sometimes invisible, route partly pathless | Basic skills in orientation | |
| trail_visibility=horrible | Often pathless | Advanced orientational skills | |
| trail_visibility=no | Mostly pathless | Excellent orientational skills |
Controversy
Based on the guidelines of verifiability some people find this tag lacking of verifiability. As always on OSM, use your best judgement to follow common sense and consensus.
