Everything you need for your hike
Above accompanies you from planning to the memories afterward. Create your own route, keep track of your position, progress, and elevation profile on the trail, and preserve every hike with photos, notes, and detailed tour data.
Plan your next hike
Set your destinations and let Above find a suitable hiking route. Review the distance, elevation gain, estimated duration, terrain difficulty, and challenging sections before you start.
Plan round trips or point-to-point routes and adjust them with your own waypoints.
Stay oriented on the trail
Record your hike and see your route, current position, progress, and elevation profile together on the map. Topographic maps, points of interest, relief shading, and slope-angle layers help you understand the terrain. Downloaded content remains available when there is no cellular reception.
Weather and route alerts notify you about relevant conditions and when you leave your planned route.
Preserve every hike
Every recorded hike becomes part of your personal hiking archive. Add photos and notes, and keep your route, distance, elevation gain, duration, and reached summits together in one place.
Your automatic summit log
Above automatically identifies summits from recorded and imported hikes. Review your ascents, summit statistics, photos, and personal notes whenever you like.
Discover and import hikes
Search for hikes from hikr.org directly in Above, or import GPX files from other apps and websites.
You can also import previously completed hikes and bring your existing tours, summits, and statistics into Above.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Above now shows more detailed information about mountain huts and other important places on the map. For planned tours, these details are also available offline, without a mobile connection. The swisstopo national map can now be turned on or off as a visible layer in the map settings. Route lines are now more transparent at high zoom levels, making underlying trails easier to see.
