A wide choice of routes
The app offers more than 700 routes regularly updated with new features.

Useful filters
You can filter routes according to: duration, difficulty, elevation, type (hiking, mountain biking, etc.), level and even geolocate yourself to find the nearest hike.

Offline function
You can download the hiking sheets and routes to consult them without internet connection or print them. Practical in the great outdoors, when the network is down.

Detailed information
Each route has photos, descriptions, points of interest (POI) such as natural sites, cultural sites, accommodations, restaurants.

Local control & reliability
Because the PNR (Regional Natural Park) and the Tourist Offices manage the app, the data is local and up-to-date, which makes the routes reliable, well-marked, maintained, etc.

How to use the app?

Install the app
You can download it for free from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).

Explore / choose a route
You can view a list of routes based on filters: duration, difficulty, and activity type. Click on a route to view its details, including step-by-step instructions, a map, a route, and photos.

Download for offline use
Before you leave, download the information sheet and route map for the route you want to take. Once you're on the ground, even if you don't have a network, you can consult the map, information, and route.

Navigation and tracking in the field
Use your phone's GPS to locate yourself on the downloaded or online route.

To consider :

  • Check the difficulty, the elevation gain and the duration carefully before setting off.
  • Make sure your phone has enough battery, especially if you use GPS offline.
  • Bring a portable device or external battery if necessary.
  • Check for app or route updates if there have been any recent changes.
