The best GPS apps for hiking

The hiking routes from the Eurohike team are practical and meet every requirement. However, would you like to explore the area before or after your hiking tour or explore the mountains of the holiday destination on your own? Understandable! With the Outdooractive app you have a large selection of hiking tours in your area at your fingertips.

You will also receive information about the route and duration, the altitude profile, the difficulty and much more. There is also the item ‘Top Tours’. It contains a clear list of all routes that offer special highlights.

Komoot – the practical GPS for on the go

Is your geography not the best, and you need help with planning? The Komoot app provides you with a personal tour at the click of a button. Simply set a start and end point and the app compiles the route. You can also draw waypoints on the map yourself. In addition, the tool offers very detailed route information, such as the nature of the route. There is nothing standing in the way of optimal preparation for the hike.

Bergfex – the all-rounder app

Tours, parking, duration, distance – the Bergfex app can do it all. Only the map material is not too extensive and you need the Pro version if the maps are to be used offline i.e. without an internet connection. The operation of the different menu items is easy. With the items ‘map’ or ‘search’ you can search for individual tours and get a clear list of the filtered results.

The heart of this app is the map function. You can choose between several topographic 3D maps. The hiking trails, contour lines, mountains and individual mountains are clearly illustrated in 3D.

In addition, the maps are valid for the whole world and there is the possibility to create and download individual sections.
