How our data is different
Most trail apps rely on user uploads, or scrape from third parties. We do it first-hand: we hike every route before it goes into the planner.
Get startedRoutes hiked by us first
We don't publish a route until we've done it ourselves.
Every pin placed by hand
Huts, water, campsites, viewpoints, etc, no scrapping.
Kept up to date
We keep checking all the information and make sure it is updated.

What people are saying
Join other hikers who are planning smart and hiking happy.
This was very helpful while I was trying to figure out each stop. I really like that I can change the distance to miles and feet. I also love that it shows water availability, transportation, and markets along the way. This is very helpful. This is a very user friendly site!

The app is a pleasure to use. You can tell it was created by hikers because it has everything you need to plan a trek. Hike Planner saved me a lot of time and stress because it shows the availability of most mountain huts. Thanks to that, I was able to plan my trek much faster.

Walker's Haute Route
I had a great experience using Take a Hike. The platform is clear, intuitive, and really easy to use. I especially loved being able to see the full itinerary, easily find the refuges and access their information, and adjust the distances to find the best option for each day of the hike.

Laura & Julio were very helpful to customize my route! Generally great tool and definitely worth the money. Will consider for future hikes.

It made planning my TMB hike much easier. It’s a great resource, and I could share the generated PDF with my loved ones. Highly recommended.
