While exploring the map, use our handy measurement tool to know what distance, terrain and elevation lie ahead on your hiking trail. This gets you ready for any change in elevation gain/loss and allows you to know how much time the section of the hiking trail will take.

Top along Distance Hiking Trails App
This app has everything and continues to improve to bring even better features we didn’t know we need. It makes planning for all my long adventures much easier and less time wasted. 10/10
Worst hiking app
It does not account for elevation gain!!! Used this app to plan a 7-day trip in the Dolomites. The times for hikes were COMPLETELY WRONG. We booked hotels and Refugi based on these data and the times were not even close— not even by a day! I’m a very experienced hiker; very strong and fast-moving. I’ve used AllTrails for a few years and never had any problems, but they don’t have my Alta Via planned out. Tried Hiiker. Won’t ever use again.
Example: Hiiker reported a 5-hour hike on day three. Reality was a 14-hour hike including many vie ferrate. We ended up having to book a different rifugio and were very lucky they had space. Otherwise, we would have been stranded. Got charged for hotels that we couldn’t make it to. Payed extra for different hotels and refugi.
Developer Response ,
Hi there. We are extremely sorry to hear that you had a bad experience using our app. I'm curious as to which trail you are referring to - Alta via takes 10 days to complete on average and the Alta Via 2 takes 15 days to complete on average. We also do include a disclaimer about hike times.
Never the less, the fact that you based your experience on the use of our app is very upsetting. Please reach out to me directly and I will see what we can do to rectify this - eoin@hiiker.co
App left us high and dry
Had used search to try to find a hike nearby. App had a hard time locating me in Virginia and kept searching for hikes in Ireland. We finally got that working, located a nearby hike that we knew would be outside of cell service - downloaded the appropriate map for offline viewing. Once we arrived - nothing. The app would not allow me to call up that downloaded map/trail. I’ll never use again. That’s the most basic feature that should work without fail.
Developer Response ,
Hi Matthus. So sorry to hear you had this experience with the app. We would love to try and find out why this happened and make sure it doesn't happen again! If you could email us on customer-support@hiiker.co we can chat further there.
