About this app

The SwitzerlandMobility app is the perfect companion for anyone who likes to be outdoors, whether in summer or winter.

Discover new routes, be inspired, and plan and navigate your experiences.


Discover the most attractive routes in Switzerland

The SwitzerlandMobility app offers access to the 1,500 most enticing routes in Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein. In summer, the range includes hiking, cycling, mountain biking, skating and canoeing. In winter, you will find a wide selection of winter hiking trails, snowshoe routes, cross-country ski trails and toboggan runs. The route network is available to you in the highest map quality with national maps from swisstopo, up to a scale of 1:10,000.


Simple planning of tours

You will find thorough descriptions and detailed photo reports for each route. This gives you a good idea of what to expect at the site. The public transport stops, including the next departure times with a direct link to the SBB app as well as a wealth of additional information on accommodation options, sights, stopover locations, bike rental and bike service stations make it easy to prepare your trip.


Travelling safely

The SwitzerlandMobility routes are official and are signposted locally. Current route closures and diversions are also available in the app. The information is updated daily, so you have the latest details at all times.


Location tracking and compass feature

You can always find the right trail with the SwitzerlandMobility app. You can easily see where you are on the map with location tracking. The compass feature aligns the map in the direction you are looking so that you can follow your planned tour.


Plan your own tours

Plan your own tours on the swisstopo map. The distance, ascents and descents, altitude profile and time required are calculated automatically. This feature is available to you with SwitzerlandMobility Plus (charges apply).


Use the app without network reception

Ratings and reviews

I love the app, especially now that I can draw paths! I have one issue, though: it would be great if I could change the language from the system default. Edit: I realized that saved routes do not contain any of my manually created waypoints. So if I ever want to go back and edit a route, it does not stick to my previous waypoints but instead tries to calculate the shortest path from the start to the current editing location. This makes it impossible to make little changes.

Very good app if in combination with the browser version and the annual paid subscription (totally worth it). Please improve the map saving feature: it would be good to be able to select a much larger map to save instead of the small square provided. It would be even better to be able to save the maps with the original raster of the 1:25000 charts (so that the coverage area is identical to the paper version). Also it would be great if you can add the 1:50'000 winter sports map.

doesn't link to Google maps. doesn't let you download a gpx file. doesn't let you set start and end points. doesn't route plan. basically just a glorified JPEG of a maps of Switzerland...
