Community

Every outing makes the mountain a little safer.

A bulletin covers a whole massif. Whoever came down this morning knows what the slope actually looks like. Alpstrack brings that knowledge back to the map: each outing and each report helps the next party decide.

Outings come back on their own Recorded or synced from your watch, recent outings show where people really went and when, with no trip report to write.
Report warning signs in two taps Avalanche, whumpf, rockfall, swollen stream: pin it at your position, add a photo, done. It shows on the map for everyone heading there.
