From the idea to the memory.
No effort, no prior knowledge needed: open the app, choose a route and set off. Along the way, the GPS audio guide automatically explains the sights on your path, while a matching legend accompanies you in chapters. SagaTrail is there for all three phases of your hike — before, during and after.
Find a route, check conditions, be ready
Choose your canton or search for a route, a peak or a sight near you. The app suggests matching hikes, filtered by difficulty and duration — including current weather and avalanche conditions. For every route you can choose a legend that accompanies you along the way.
Find a route
Choose your canton or area — matching hikes are suggested automatically.
Check conditions
Review weather, the avalanche bulletin and current trail-condition reports from the community in advance.
Prepare offline
Download audio guide, legends, route data and map tiles in advance — for areas without coverage.
Personalise
Choose language, the audio guide's narration archetype (Traveller, Guardian, Witty or Herdsman) and age level, and store an emergency contact.
Audio guide, story and safety in one
Follow the live navigation along your route. As soon as you approach a sight — castle, church, fountain or peak — the GPS audio guide automatically explains what you see. In between, your chosen legend unfolds in around 10 chapters. Everything is read aloud to you, the phone stays in your pocket.

Useful tips
Small touches that make the experience even more complete.
Under Settings › Profile you can switch language and the audio guide's narration archetype at any time. The speaker icon gives you a voice preview.
Tap “Create group” and share the code with your fellow hikers. Everyone hears audio guide and legends in sync — one leads, all follow.
Audio guide content and legends are available offline after the first load. Maps and routes need an active connection unless downloaded in advance.
SagaTrail needs your location only during an active hike — it triggers audio guide and legends. Without permission, the app runs in limited mode.
So that audio guide and narration keep playing even with the screen locked, the app must be allowed for background audio in the operating system.
