1. Look for ideas for your next hike
Search the place, discover the trail
How many times have you seen an incredible hut or lake without knowing how to get there?
You search the name on Google, find old forum posts and conflicting advice. And 30 minutes later, you still don’t have an answer.
Finding a beautiful place is easy. Knowing how to reach it is another story.
On Mountain Maps, you simply choose your destination and we instantly suggest the best trek to get there.
Ask your questions to MIA, your AI mountain guide
MIA answers your questions about hiking, huts, points of interest, or mountain huts in real time, both during the planning phase and while you are on the trail.
Find new trails from Trails
In the “Trails” section, you can find ideas for new hikes: just select your starting location and the desired duration in hours or kilometers. You can also add two additional filters:
- Round trip or two way?
- Do you want the route to pass by a lake, a summit or a mountain hut?
2. Plan your itinerary in detail
We know how important it is to have accurate information before setting off on a hike. With Mountain Maps you can plan your trail quickly and easily by clicking on “Plan” in the bottom bar.
- Choose your activity filters: first, you can select between walking and skiing, which makes the app also a navigator for ski slopes. Then decide whether to include via ferrata routes.
- Enter trail details: select the starting point, arrival point, and add any intermediate points to customise the route.
- Click on Plan and view route details: you’ll find all the key information, such as travel time, distance, elevation gain, and gradient.
- Start navigation: when you’re ready, press “Navigate” to follow the route with precise directions in real time.
3. Consult detailed mountain maps
Consult precise mountain maps, also in 3D or satellite mode, and study the terrain before your hike. Discover slopes, trails and points of interest at a glance.
If you are a skiing enthusiast, you will also find the ski slopes layer, with detailed information on tracks and lifts.
4. Download offline maps
For navigation even without a connection
The highest peaks offer breathtaking views, but often the internet abandons you right at the best of times.
That’s why Mountain Maps allows you to download offline maps for free before your departure.
When you are in the mountains and the signal disappears, the map automatically activates, so you can continue to follow the route without any worries. No more fear of getting lost, just the pleasure of hiking.
5. Import or export .gpx tracks
Do you already have a .gpx track of your route? Import it into Mountain Maps to have everything at your fingertips directly in the app.
Just click on the profile icon on the top right, scroll down to the “Imported routes” section, and select ‘Upload route’. In a few seconds, you will have your route ready to view and navigate.
