GPS Hiking Routes Switzerland
Free · In‑App Purchases
Hear Swiss legends live, right where they happened – GPS-triggered, hands-free. Over 200 historically documented tales across all 26 cantons.
Imagine hiking through the Swiss Alps and hearing the legend of a place as you reach an old wayside cross. SagaTrail combines Swiss hiking trails with stories passed down through generations and turns each hike into a journey that unfolds step by step.
HIKE WITH A STORY
Discover legends from all 26 Swiss cantons. More than 200 carefully curated stories from public-domain sources and local traditions are ready to accompany you on the trail.
GPS-BASED AUDIO STORIES
SagaTrail recognizes your position along the route. When you reach a waypoint, summit or place of historical interest, the related story can start automatically, hands-free and without taking your attention away from the trail.
YOU DECIDE
At selected story moments, choose what happens next by tapping the screen or speaking. Every hike becomes your own journey.
NAVIGATION AND ORIENTATION
Follow your route with GPS, get prompts before upcoming turns, and explore elevation profiles, panoramic views and 3D terrain. Augmented-reality views can show notable summits and nearby route sections through the camera.
SAFETY ON THE TRAIL
Where data is available, SagaTrail provides orientation information about terrain, weather, UV exposure, thunderstorms and avalanches. These features help with planning and awareness, but do not replace official alerts, local risk assessment or emergency services.
