The free SwitzerlandMobility app is the perfect app for anybody who is out and about in Switzerland either in summer or winter:
- maps of Switzerland from swisstopo (the best) up to a scale of 1:10,000 - 32,000 km signposted non-motorized routes (national, regional and local) - complete network of signposted hiking trails (60,000 km) - 600 routes for winter activities - 25,000 public transportation stops linked to the timetable of the Swiss Federal Railways (planning a tour with public transportation was never easier) - information on 4,500 points of interest on the way, such as overnight accommodations, bicycle service stations, etc. - positioning system and compass function (you always know where you are) - map orientation (the map turns and moves in viewing direction)
On purchasing a SwitzerlandMobility Plus subscription you can additionally:
- use and save swisstopo maps for areas without network coverage (no more problems with dead zones) - Recording tours (GPS tracking) - download and store tours you designed, including elevation profile, hiking time, distance and altitudes (separately and easily)
