Every place has its story.
Over 200 curated legends from all 26 cantons and more than 30,000 sights — told exactly where they took place. No AI-generated texts: all content comes from publicly available historical sources.
What this feature does for you
Before you set off, you choose a legend set along your route. As you walk, it is told in chapters — triggered automatically as soon as you reach the relevant location. Between the chapters, the audio guide explains the sights along the way. A plain route becomes a coherent experience.
Historically documented
All legends are based on publicly available historical sources — no AI-generated stories.
8 languages
Professional audio narration in German, Swiss German, French, Italian, English, Spanish, Portuguese and Chinese.
Adaptive narration
The story starts automatically as soon as you reach the legend's location — including sights along the route.
Collect & progress
Every legend you hear becomes part of your personal collection — with progress tracking per canton.
Sights
Viewpoints, fountains and wayside crosses along the route are woven directly into the narration — instead of dry information boards, you experience the story behind them.
3 narration levels
Choose between children, teenagers and adults — the same legend, told to suit your hiking group.
Sights become story
Instead of a plain information board, SagaTrail tells you what a viewpoint, a chapel or an old wayside cross is really about — embedded in the legend that unfolds right there. More than 30,000 sights are linked to their location in this way.
