traversly

The trail is already marked.
You just need to know what is ahead.

traversly is a hiking app for Europe's long trails. It shows you water, beds, camping, food and shops along the route, with notes from the people who walked it last week. Buy only the guides you need. No subscription.

Why traversly

What is wrong with planning a long trail today

Guidebooks get old. Trails keep changing.

A fountain that ran last summer. A refuge with new rules. A shop that closed. A printed guide is updated once a year, if at all.

Everything is a subscription now.

Outdoor apps rent you what you used to own. Stop paying, and your maps are gone.

You do not need a route planner.

The Camino Francés has yellow arrows. The GR20 has red and white marks. You will not lose the trail. And if you do, open the map in traversly and walk back to it. The rest of the time, use it to see what is coming.

Water is not the only thing you need.

You also need a bed, a place to pitch your tent, and a shop to buy food.

Coverage

What traversly covers

Water

Fountains, taps and streams along the route. And whether they still ran when someone last walked past.

Shelter

Refuges, albergues, huts and gîtes. What they cost, if you can book them, and what other walkers found there.

Camping

Where you may camp wild, where you may not, and the official pitches in between.

Resupply

The next shop, the next town, and how far it really is from the trail.

Restaurants & Cafés

Luxury, not survival. But it is good to know there is an espresso two hours ahead, or a place that still serves food after 8 pm.

Not a planner. A navigator.

See what is ahead on the trail you are already walking. The next water, the next bed, the next coffee, the next shop, and how far each one is. One simple screen. Nothing to set up.

The people on the trail keep it current.

Leave a note at a water source, a refuge, a café. Write what you found. The hikers behind you get it, and so do you: notes earn points, and points pay for guides. If you have used droply, you already know how it works.

Buy the guides you need. Keep them.

One trail, one purchase. No monthly fee. Nothing expires, and nothing stops working because you forgot to renew. If you walk one long trail a year, you should not pay for software twelve months a year.

Who this is for

People who walk for days, with no signal and old information

All three walk for days, lose signal, and cannot find information that is up to date.

Pilgrims

Walking a Camino

All ages, often 45 and up, and often a first long walk. Not gear people. You do not know if today's albergue has a bed until you stand in front of it.

European trekkers

GR20, Alta Via, TMB, GR11

Fit, and you know your gear. Your huts are booked months ahead, through the official system or an agency. What is missing is the day itself: the next water, where to eat lunch, and how far the next shop really is.

Thru-hiker-adjacent

You know how a thru-hike feels. Nobody has written down what the European version looks like.
