Ratings and reviews

Recently the app became somewhat unstable, crashes from time to time when navigating and crashes almost every single time when you want to delete a saved tour. If this issue would be fixed it's definitely 5 stars again. Great App for hiking! We mainly use SwissTopo for navigation in the mountains.

Best maps in world. The best readable and the most detailed rendering at the same time. Powerful layers like ski routes or gradients.

This is the best hiking app for Switzerland. There are more hiking trails than in alltrails and komoot, route planning is extremely easy: it snaps to path, you can drag the route around, it displays all the usual statistics. Downloaded maps are available offline, you can import the hike into your usual hiking app if you want to keep your hikes history in one place. And it's free.

What's new

The summer update: New with additional information on Swiss swimming pools, museums and remote inns in the Base Map. The terms of use and privacy policy have been adapted.
