Two ways to begin

Start with a proven structure.
Make it completely yours.

Choose an expert-designed template that closely matches your trip, or begin with a blank itinerary. Either way, every part of the journey can be adapted around your group.

01 · Start with a template

Begin with an itinerary designed by our trail team.

Choose from templates created around different trip lengths, hiking speeds, directions, route choices and accommodation preferences. Select the closest match and begin personalising.

  • Different trip lengths
  • Alternative hiking directions
  • Varied hiking speeds
  • Popular route choices

Choose and adjust your start and finish location, number of hiking days, main or alternate routes and use transport where it creates a more achievable plan.

Add transport and see the difference

Include a gondola, bus or train to shorten a stage and see the effect on that day’s distance, elevation and estimated hiking time before deciding whether it belongs in your plan.

Itinerary checks

Know when your plan needs another look.

As your itinerary takes shape, the platform identifies missing information and potential issues that may affect your selected route or hiking dates.

01 Plan structure

Confirm that each hiking day has a start location, overnight location and finish so your route and statistics are complete.

02 Trail information

Closures and warnings

Relevant to your route and dates
03 Transport timing

Seasonal transport

Identify buses, trains or gondolas that may not be operating when you plan to hike—particularly early or late in the season.

Operating dates considered
04 Route structure

Unexpected out-and-back sections

Check whether repeated trail sections are intentional—such as visiting a summit or lunch stop—or an itinerary-design error.
