Carry all hiking guides on your phone, permanently yours after purchasing. The first 500 hikers to pre-register for the app will get an entire year of all guides for free.
Launching soon.
In the meantime, check our blog for the trails we've already hiked.

With traversly, there's only the route and the waypoints along it. No fixed day sections that you have to follow, everything is planned according to your hiking speed and preferences.
On the GR5, we cut the pages that we had already hiked out of the trail guide - to save weight. No need for that any more - with traversly, keep the entire guide on your phone. Saves you some weight.
Outdoor apps rent you what you used to own. Stop paying a subscription and buy only the guides you need. Like the good old books but without the weight.
With traversly, you will not only have access to curated trail guides, but we also build a community that helps each other - by commenting on waypoints and flagging information that is not accurate any more. While hiking, you profit from the information by people ahead of you, and help the people behind you.
We plan the hike like we would do for ourselves, and make it all available to you in the traversly app: Resupply, difficult passages, huts, good camping spots and even the water sources - which we import from droply, also an app we have built.
Set your hiking speed and say how long you would like to hike every day. traversly will plan the nights and day sections around that information as good as possible. You never start from a blank map - all possible stops are already there.
Just tell us how many days you have available for that hike, how hard you want them and if you prefer refuges or if you also carry a tent, traversly will do the rest and leaves you with a checklist which huts to book.
No matter if you plan everything at home or if you keep planning while hiking, traversly helps you with a checklist which accommodation still needs booking and gives you all the relevant contacts and the phone numbers to call, so you can enjoy your hike instead of hassling with detail planning.
We import from droply, which is a water finder app by the same authors. Both natural sources and tap water is shown in traversly, depending if you want to carry a water filter or not.
This is a major problem on European trails: It's not possible and usually not allowed to sleep just anywhere on the trail. We help you planning the mountain refuges, huts, gîtes and albergues so you don't have to hassle with each country's specific individualities. What they cost, if they need booking or not, and what other hikers found there.
Where you can pitch your tent legally, where you cannot and the official campgrounds in between.
Where you find good shops in the next town and how much of a detour you need to take from the trail to resupply.
Very common on Europe and the biggest luxury to me: Know when the next espresso is just an hour ahead to boost your hike, or find places that still serve food after 8pm.
Sometimes we need to be careful, and sometimes we just want to enjoy the view and share some pictures, or learn about the history of a place. All of this within the same app of course.
Individually planned by traversly according to your pace and distance preferences, but you can still change nights as you want. This defines your final day sections and leaves you with a checklist what to book ahead.
The whole app works in airplane mode - this saves both mobile data and battery. If you get lost, the GPS on your phone also works without mobile data and traversly helps you to find back to the trail.
Check traversly to know what's ahead: When is the next resupply stop or next water along the trail? You can also still change and rearrange the night stops.
While waiting for traversly, already read about the trails we have already hiked. If you know other trails that absolutely need to be on traversly, let us know by email.
Corsica's high mountain traverse. Around 180 km, two to three weeks, and often called the hardest long trail in Europe. Compulsory refuge booking, and the purest example of why the nights are the hard part.

The Ruta de Pedra en Sec through the Serra de Tramuntana. Around 139 km, usually 7 to 10 days, and a season that runs October to May, the inverse of the GR20.
Read the blog post →One trail, one purchase. No expiry and free lifetime-updates for the same trail. It doesn't matter if you want to hike it now or in two years - the guide is yours to keep, then go hiking whenever you want.
If you're planning a long-distance hike in the next twelve months, register now and — if you're one of the first 500 to qualify — every guide is free for your first year.
Are you planning to hike a long-distance trail (multiple days, like the GR20, GR221, a Camino, or the Tour du Mont Blanc) in the next 12 months?
This offer is for people about to walk one. If you'd rather just hear when traversly launches, the newsletter is the right list — no gate, one email a month.
Thanks for your answer, your spot for 1 free year of traversly is secured. We will let you know when it launches.
Let's get out there, nobody should be stopped from hiking because the planning is complicated.
On the GR20, Tour du Mont Blanc and Ruta de Pedra en Sec, the available beds on the usual stops fill quickly. But don't be scared, there are usually alternatives to the most popular places.
How many times did you have to ask in a Facebook group how to get somewhere, or where to book the municipal accommodation? With traversly, we gather and curate all this information for you.
Every country has different regulations. On mountainous sections, it's also good to know about the best flat spots before it gets dark.
Our story Two CDT thru-hikers built traversly after coming back to Europe and realizing that pitching a tent is not all that easy as it is in the US. Over here, we can't just hike, we have to struggle with local laws and regulations, organizing and calling the huts ahead on the trail.
We are building the guides to make that easier, because long-distance hiking is the most relaxing hobby if you can get rid of the organizational steps. And after building droply, the water finder app, we feel ready for the next step.
Leave a comment at a water source, a refuge, a café. Say what you found. The hikers behind you get it, as you also profited from the people ahead of you: That's what we call community. For every contribution you can earn points to turn them into free guides later on. If you have used droply, you already know how it works.

A trip report and planning guide to the GR221 in Mallorca's Serra de Tramuntana. It covers direction, refuges, water, weather, and why a real mountain trail can still be this comfortable to organize.

Everything you need to plan a GR20 thru-hike in Corsica: season, refuge booking, water, resupply, and budget. Plus the safety checks worth doing before you go.
Read the articleA guidebook app for one long-distance trail at a time. It splits the trail into days you can walk, tells you what every night needs, and stays current because the hikers on the trail keep it that way. Launching soon.
Soon, and the people on the list hear it first. The first blog posts are already written, and the app is in build.
You buy the one trail you are walking, once, and it stays yours. There is nothing to renew. If you pre-registered and were one of the first 500 to qualify, your first year of guides is free.
No. There is no subscription, no trial and no expiry. A guide you bought keeps working, including the parts you already downloaded.
Yes. Once a guide has downloaded, the plan, the map, the waypoints, the comments and writing new ones all work in airplane mode. Weather and incoming comments need a connection, and they always show how old the information is.
Yes, and that is the point. Star a different overnight stop and the days recompute around it. It works from the refuge, with no signal.
Star the next one you can reach and drop the one you cannot. The stages either side recompute, and the list of nights that still need arranging updates with them.
Long-distance trails across Europe to start, growing into a global catalogue. The GR routes are first in line, the Camino routes follow later, and which trails come next is shaped by what hikers tell us when they pre-register.
The first 500 people who pre-registered and confirmed they are hiking a long trail this year get every guide free for a year. Beyond that, the comments you leave on the trail earn points, and points pay for guides.
Two CDT thru-hikers, the same people who built droply, the water app.
One email when there is something to say. About once a month.
