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)
