Pilot partnership for tourism associations & destinations

A pilot with clear numbers.
No cost, no risk.

SagaTrail is the Swiss hiking app with GPS-guided legend routes. We're not proposing a vague recommendation, but a 6-month pilot partnership with clearly defined contributions on both sides – and a report at the end that you can show your board.

210+Legends from 26 cantons
8Languages
6 mo.Pilot, then decision
Concrete, not vague

No letters of intent – three manageable contributions from you, five concrete benefits from us. Both easy to implement.

What we need from the association

One-time effort, no ongoing commitment

  1. One mention in a newsletter or on social media when the partnership launches
  2. A QR code or link at your information points and on the „Hiking“ page of your website
  3. An introduction to 3–5 local businesses (restaurants, mountain railways, hotels) that could be interesting SagaTrail partners

What you get in return

Concrete, not „more reach“

  1. Free Premium access for your information point staff, so they can recommend the app from their own experience
  2. Ready-made digital marketing materials (texts, images, QR codes, social media templates) – you don't produce anything yourself
  3. Live usage report at cantonal level: viewable at any time – how many hikes, which routes, which languages – no waiting for a report
  4. We handle outreach to local businesses for the partner program – you just provide the contact
What your association gets out of it, concretely

SagaTrail creates added value for your destination – without you having to develop or fund anything.

💬

Digital materials, ready to use

Texts, images, QR codes and social media templates ready to use directly – you don't have to design or produce anything yourself.

No effort

You don't have to program anything, maintain anything, or provide any budget. We take care of content, technology and updates.

🎧

Premium for your information points

Your staff try the app for free themselves – an honest recommendation is more credible than a flyer nobody read.

🏠

Longer stays

Guests who experience a legend route plan their trip more deliberately – which tends to mean more overnight stays and local spending.

📊

Live usage report (canton)

Concrete numbers instead of gut feeling, viewable at any time: which routes and legends in your canton were accessed and how often – no waiting for a report.

🤝

Strengthen local businesses

Restaurants, mountain huts and providers along the routes can register as SagaTrail partners – we handle the outreach, you just provide the contact.

Your dashboard, viewable live

No abstract reach numbers and no waiting for a periodic report – a simple dashboard you can open yourself at any time and use directly for your board meeting. Example metrics:

Ø Time spent per route2h 15min

ℹ️  The dashboard is built at cantonal level. If your association covers only part of a canton (e.g. one destination) or several cantons together, we'll go through that in detail during the initial conversation – the figures should then be understood as an approximation for your region, not exactly tailored to your area.

Three steps to the pilot

From first contact to a running pilot – simple and fast.

1

Get in touch

You send us a short email. In a 30-minute call, we show you which content from your region is already in the app.

2

Align content

We make sure the legends and routes for your region are entered correctly and completely.

3

Launch the pilot

You recommend SagaTrail using the ready-made materials we provide. After 6 months you decide whether to continue, based on the report.

And what happens after the 6 months?

Three possible levels – independent of one another. You decide whether and how far you go; no level necessarily builds on the previous one.

Level 1

Simply continue

The pilot continues informally, under the same terms – without a new contract. A short annual review call is enough.

Level 2

Official partnership

An „Officially recommended by [Canton] Tourism“ badge in the app, and in return a SagaTrail partner seal on your website – at no extra cost to you.

Level 3

Content expansion

You commission SagaTrail to professionally research and produce additional local legends and routes specifically for your region – research and narration included.

We don't want associations to recommend us on trust alone. We want a pilot with numbers that speak for themselves – and if they're not convincing after 6 months, we understand that too.
