Top 5 Swiss Hiking Tips you should know to make your next adventure a success

Dreaming of hiking the Swiss Alps? Here are my top resources that will ensure your adventure is unforgettable and safe! Everything you should know to make your hiking trip a success in Switzerland. Share these resources with a friend to ensure your trip to Switzerland is successful and safe!

Swiss Maps (Swiss Topo app)

Your ultimate map for exploring Switzerland! With countless layers, you can see all official hiking trails: yellow (easy), red (difficult), and blue (expert). Beware, the offline feature isn’t reliable – always have a backup! Plan hikes online or via the app, but I find it tricky. Instead, try the next resource!

Outdoor ACTIVE

Although it’s not free, this tool is a global gem! It offers intuitive planning with distance, altitude, and estimated time (note: it’s optimistic). Pros: user-friendly, accurate, and packed with features, including pre-planned routes. Cons: no official hiking trails and it’s paid. Perfect for serious planners!

Reeloq.ch

Worried about dropping your phone while capturing epic shots? Reeloq is your answer! Fasten it to your backpack strap and snap away without fear. Tested on hikes, alpine tours, multipitch climbing, and Via Ferrata. A must-have for every adventurer!

Slf.ch

Summer hiking but still encountering snow? Check slf.ch for current snow conditions on higher trails. Essential for planning your high-altitude hikes, especially in late snow seasons. Don’t get caught unprepared – know before you go!

Sbb.ch

Plan your journey with Swiss public transport, which is top-notch! Use sbb.ch to get to your hike without a car. Note: cable cars and mountain transport are usually private, so you’ll need to check their details separately.
