European Alternatives to AllTrails
Looking for a European alternative to AllTrails? AllTrails is a trail guide and map service for hiking, camping and running that is supplied by AllTrails, LLC under its Terms of Service updated on 17 December 2025. The AllTrails home page lists route building, activity recording with live tracking and downloadable maps as its core functions, and its trail pages are weighted towards US national parks.
The European hiking and trail apps below are run by companies in Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Estonia and Switzerland. Several offer a free plan, offline maps or route planning, and each shows its legal entity in an imprint, terms page or privacy policy.
How we rank these tools — 4-step process
-
1
European ownership, verified
The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA, the UK, Switzerland or Israel, and processes customer data in Europe or Israel. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.
-
2
Category fit and hands-on review
What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.
-
3
Compliance and pricing check
GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.
-
4
Position on this page
Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect which tools appear here and the order they appear in. It never buys a good review: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.
Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Vendors can pay for more visibility, higher up on the review pages; it never affects which tools are listed. Editorial policy

Key takeaways
- AllTrails is supplied by AllTrails, LLC, and its terms updated on 17 December 2025 are governed by California law and US federal law, with a binding arbitration clause that has a 30-day opt-out.
- AllTrails' terms give the company an irrevocable, perpetual, sublicensable licence to the tracks, photos and reviews you submit, while you keep ownership.
- Every national park named in the top-parks list on the AllTrails home page is in the United States, so hikers in the Alps or the Benelux have reason to look at komoot, Outdooractive, Alpenvereinaktiv, bergfex or SityTrail.
- Organic Maps and OsmAnd are the two open-source options on this page, and both draw on OpenStreetMap, the same open map database AllTrails says its products partly use.
- Of the twelve European tools on this page, Organic Maps and SityTrail publish a free tier price (free and EUR 0 a year), while komoot, bergfex, Locus Map, Visorando and calimoto do not publish a Premium price on the pages we read.
Why people leave AllTrails
AllTrails is a trail guide and map service for hiking, camping and running, supplied by AllTrails, LLC. Its home page offers three things: building your own route, recording an activity with live tracking, and downloading maps for use without signal. The search box starts from a city, a park or a trail name, and the example lists on the page name Bryce Canyon, Zion, Yosemite, Acadia and other American national parks.
That American centre of gravity is the first reason Europeans look elsewhere. A walker planning a week in the Dolomites, the Pyrenees or the Ardennes is using a catalogue whose showcase is on another continent, from a company that is not established in the EU. The terms say the contract is governed by the law of California and US federal law, with disputes sent to binding arbitration unless you opt out within 30 days.
The second reason is simply fit. Hiking in Europe runs through huts, waymarked long-distance paths, club maps and national mapping agencies, and several European apps are built around exactly those. Nothing here says AllTrails works badly. The question is whether a US trail library is the right home for your tracks, photos and account.
- The contract is American, with a European carve-out only for courts AllTrails' terms are with AllTrails, LLC and are governed by California law and the Federal Arbitration Act. The exclusive venue for lawsuits is a federal court in Northern California or the San Francisco Superior Court. Customers whose habitual residence is in the EEA or the UK are excepted from that venue clause and may enforce consumer rights where they live. The governing law stays Californian for everyone.
- What you upload is licensed to AllTrails without an end date The terms say you own the User Material you submit, such as tracks, photos and reviews. They also say that by submitting it you grant AllTrails an irrevocable, perpetual, sublicensable, worldwide licence to use, modify and distribute it, including for commercial and promotional purposes. Anyone who publishes a favourite route should read that clause first, because it is the condition attached to the community library.
- Subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current price A paid AllTrails subscription renews for an equal period at whatever price AllTrails charges at that moment, unless you cancel before the renewal date. Cancelling is done in the member account on the website, by email to AllTrails support, or in the app store account if you bought there. The terms also describe a Lifetime Plus subscription that ends after 100 years or when AllTrails stops offering the product, whichever comes first.
- Trail coverage tilts towards North America The AllTrails home page lists top parks and top cities, and every park named is in the United States. That is a snapshot of one page rather than a measurement of the catalogue, and the site clearly also covers other countries. For a hiker whose trips are in Austria, Belgium, France or the Czech Republic, European providers write their route text in local languages and tie into local maps, which a US-centred catalogue is less likely to do.
What you have to replace, not just match
AllTrails bundles four jobs, and European tools split them differently. Trail discovery maps to komoot, Outdooractive, Alpenvereinaktiv, bergfex and Visorando. Route recording maps to SityTrail, Locus Map and komoot. Offline navigation maps to OsmAnd, Organic Maps and Locus Map. Decide which of the four you use weekly before you pick, because no single app on this page matches AllTrails on all of them in every region.
The thing that does not move across is your own history. Recorded hikes, saved lists, photos and reviews live in your AllTrails account, and the terms describe the content as licensed to AllTrails, not handed over. Export what you can as GPX before you cancel, check that your new app imports GPX (Visorando lists a GPX import tool and OsmAnd lists GPX tracks on its map), and accept that reviews and community ratings will not follow you.
Two entries on this page are not like-for-like. Bikemap and calimoto serve cyclists and motorcyclists, and PeakFinder only names mountains. They are listed because people who search for an AllTrails alternative often mean a different sport or a companion tool, not because they replace the trail library.

How each alternative compares to AllTrails
Best for: Hikers who want sport-specific route suggestions and a community library in one German app
komoot GmbH has its imprint at Kienberger Allee 4 in Schönefeld, Germany, registered at the Amtsgericht Cottbus under HRB 19363 CB. The app asks which sport you want, then proposes a route shaped for hiking, road cycling, mountain biking or running, using routes, photos and tips contributed by other users. That discovery model is the nearest match to how AllTrails is used.
The caveats come from komoot's own pages. Premium adds multi-day routes, offline world maps, 3D maps and Garmin sync, but the price appears only after you sign in. Against AllTrails you gain a German contract and imprint; you give up any promise of a published price, and you should compare the size of the trail library in your own region by searching it.
What komoot does better than AllTrails
- A contracting company with a German imprint, register number and VAT ID
- Route generation tuned per sport instead of one trail catalogue for everyone
- A free account that plans routes and navigates your home region
- Covers cycling and running in the same app, not only walking
Where komoot is a step down from AllTrails
- Premium price is not published and shows only after sign-in
- No certification is published on the pages we read
- Routes depend on community contributions, so quality varies by region
Standout against AllTrails. komoot draws a different line over the same hillside depending on whether you are hiking, riding a road bike or riding a mountain bike.
Best for: Hikers and tourers who plan Alpine trips and want to sync the result to a watch
Outdooractive AG operates from Immenstadt im Allgäu and is registered at the Amtsgericht Kempten as HRB 15575. Its Basic plan is free and lets you plan and print routes across more than 30 activities. Sync with Garmin, Strava and Suunto is listed on the plans page, so you can keep your watch and change only where trips are planned.
Pro costs €29.99 a year and Pro+ €59.99 a year, shown as €2.50 and €5.00 per month on a 12-month contract. Offline maps start at Pro. The privacy policy names Hetzner in Germany as the main host, and it also says a chatbot can send data to the USA. Next to AllTrails you gain German hosting for the core service, and you lose a trail catalogue built mainly around US parks.
What Outdooractive does better than AllTrails
- Primary hosting stated as Hetzner in Germany, per the privacy policy
- Route planning for more than 30 activities in the free Basic plan
- Prices published in euros, from €29.99 a year
- Watch sync with Garmin, Strava and Suunto
Where Outdooractive is a step down from AllTrails
- Offline maps need Pro on a 12-month contract
- The chatbot can transfer data to the USA, which cuts against the hosting claim
- Little training analysis, since planning is the focus
Standout against AllTrails. Outdooractive is the one platform here that also runs the technical side of the Alpine club portal below.
Best for: Alpine hikers and ski tourers who want hut information, conditions and club maps
Alpenvereinaktiv is published by the Deutscher Alpenverein, the Österreichischer Alpenverein and the Alpenverein Südtirol, and Outdooractive AG acts as technical operator and contracting party. Besides tours, it has separate pages for current conditions, huts, the avalanche situation and mountain weather. AllTrails does not list a comparable club-run section on the pages we read.
Basic is free. Pro is listed at EUR 2.50 a month and Pro+ at EUR 5.00, each marked with an asterisk whose conditions we did not read. Pro adds the official topo maps and offline saving. Members of the three clubs can request a Pro voucher. The pages we read are in German, and hosting is not stated.
What Alpenvereinaktiv does better than AllTrails
- Run by three Alpine clubs, with huts and condition reports on the same site
- Avalanche situation and mountain weather pages for winter tours
- Cheaper entry paid tier, listed from EUR 2.50 a month
- Pro voucher for members of the German, Austrian or South Tyrolean club
Where Alpenvereinaktiv is a step down from AllTrails
- Content centres on the Alps, with less to offer for flat country
- Interface pages we read are in German
- Offline and topo maps are paid features
Standout against AllTrails. Alpenvereinaktiv is the only app here published by Alpine clubs, three of them, with hut pages next to the tours.
Best for: Alpine walkers who check weather, webcams and ski areas before choosing a tour
bergfex GmbH has its imprint at Neupauerweg 30a in Graz, with company register number 293157p and VAT ID ATU63421700. Its menu covers tours, weather, webcams, ski areas and accommodation, and the summer topics include hiking, trail running and cycling. It publishes three apps named in the imprint: bergfex/Tours, bergfex/Ski and bergfex/Weather.
That breadth is what separates it from AllTrails, whose home page is about trails, recording and maps. The gaps are visible in the pages we read: no price for a paid plan, no statement on offline maps and no hosting location. The subscription details sit in an FAQ we did not read, so check them before relying on it away from signal.
What bergfex does better than AllTrails
- Weather and webcams on the same site as the tours
- Free registration for a My bergfex account
- Site offered in many languages, including German, English, French, Italian, Dutch and Polish
- Austrian company with register number and VAT ID in the imprint
Where bergfex is a step down from AllTrails
- No paid-plan price shown on the pages we read
- Offline support not stated
- Tours are only one part of a site that also sells advertising and accommodation listings
Standout against AllTrails. bergfex answers the question of what the weather and the webcams look like at the trailhead before you open a tour.
Best for: Hikers in Belgium and France who want free recording and IGN maps in a paid tier
Geolives Belgium SRL publishes SityTrail from Quai Banning 6 in Liège, with VAT number BE0672456656, and the terms of service name it as publisher. The free plan, priced at EUR 0 a year, uses an OpenStreetMap base map and records trails with geo-tagged photos, distance, travelled km-effort, speed and calories, plus an altimeter and device sync.
Premium opens the whole hike catalogue and adds world topographic maps and downloadable IGN maps for offline use. Its price was not shown on the pages we read, and the privacy policy still names the older form S.P.R.L. next to SRL in the terms. Relative to AllTrails, you get a Belgian publisher and a free recorder, but offline maps are behind a paywall.
What SityTrail does better than AllTrails
- A free plan that records trails with photos and syncs between devices
- Downloadable IGN topographic maps in Premium for France and Belgium
- Belgian publisher with address and VAT number in the terms
- App offered in English, French, German, Dutch, Italian and Spanish
Where SityTrail is a step down from AllTrails
- Premium price is not shown on the pages we read
- Free plan has no offline IGN maps
- Hosting location is not stated
Standout against AllTrails. SityTrail is the only app on this page that sells French IGN topographic maps for offline use as part of a hiking app.
Best for: Hikers who want topographic maps offline and are happy to configure the app themselves
OsmAnd is made by OsmAnd BV in the Netherlands, with the app's copyright running from 2010. It is open source, built on OpenStreetMap data, and ships map styles for touring, topo, off-road, winter and ski, nautical and desert use, with 3D relief, hillshade and slope. GPX tracks display on the map, which makes it a good place to open a track exported from AllTrails.
It is a navigation tool first, not a trail guide with photos and reviews, so you bring your own routes. The free version is limited to 7 map downloads; Maps+ costs €14.99 a year and OsmAnd+ is a €69.99 one-time purchase. Compared with AllTrails you get a one-time licence option and an inspectable codebase, and you give up a ready-made trail library.
What OsmAnd does better than AllTrails
- Offline maps with 3D terrain, hillshade and slope for any downloaded region
- Open-source code under a public licence that anyone can inspect
- A €69.99 one-time purchase, where AllTrails renews automatically
- Dozens of languages for voice guidance
Where OsmAnd is a step down from AllTrails
- No built-in trail catalogue with photos and reviews
- Many settings; the learning curve is steeper than AllTrails
- Free version limited to 7 map downloads
Standout against AllTrails. OsmAnd lets you switch the same offline map between touring, topographic and ski styles without leaving the app.
Best for: Hikers who want a lightweight offline map and refuse to create an account
Organic Maps is a free, open-source offline map app for hiking, cycling and driving, powered by OpenStreetMap. Its site states that it has no ads, no tracking and works with all features offline. The footer names Organic Maps OÜ in Tallinn, Estonia, while our own tool page lists Berlin, so check the imprint yourself. The code is under Apache 2.0.
Contour lines, elevation profiles and hiking trails are shown where OpenStreetMap has them. Next to AllTrails there is no account, no subscription and no cloud library of recorded hikes. In return you get no photos, no reviews and no curated trail pages, so the quality of a route depends on how well OpenStreetMap maps that area.
What Organic Maps does better than AllTrails
- Free, with no ads and no tracking, according to the vendor
- No account needed, so there is nothing to export or delete later
- Contour lines and elevation profiles from OpenStreetMap data
- Apache 2.0 licence with the code public on GitHub
Where Organic Maps is a step down from AllTrails
- No trail guide, photos or reviews
- Route quality depends on OpenStreetMap coverage in the region
- Legal address and our own tool page do not agree on the country
Standout against AllTrails. Organic Maps is the only app here that asks for no account at all, so the only thing to cancel is the download.
Best for: Hikers and cyclists who choose their own map sources and tune the screen
Asamm Software, s.r.o. builds Locus Map in Prague, with the business ID 24225321 in both the imprint and the privacy policy. The app combines offline and online maps with offline routing, track recording and statistics, and a route planner showing elevation profile, surfaces and way types. Its about page says the team has more than ten members and over a million users, which is a vendor claim.
Tracks export to many formats and to Strava, and the app talks to Garmin, Wear OS and Tizen watches. The main screen and panels can be rearranged. Against AllTrails, the gain is control over map sources; the loss is a trail library with reviews, which the pages we read do not describe. The Premium price was not shown.
What Locus Map does better than AllTrails
- Your choice of offline and online map sources
- Offline routing, not just offline map display
- Exports tracks to many formats and shares to Strava
- Watch support for Garmin, Wear OS and Tizen
Where Locus Map is a step down from AllTrails
- No built-in trail guide with reviews described
- Many settings that a casual hiker may find too many
- Premium price and hosting location are not shown
Standout against AllTrails. Locus Map lets you rebuild the main screen and its panels so that only the instruments you use remain.
Best for: French-speaking walkers who want local routes and a free tool to draw their own
Visorando is published by Visorando SAS, with its registered office at 6 rue de l'Industrie in Soultz, France, and a share capital of EUR 1,000. The legal notice names OVH in Roubaix as the host. Search routes by distance, duration, difficulty and positive elevation gain, with activity filters that go beyond walking to snowshoes, horse riding and kayaking.
You can draw circuits for free on IGN or OSM base maps and import GPX. Pages we read are in French, Premium contents and price are not shown, and offline use is not described. Compared with AllTrails you get a stated European host and French-language route texts; you give up the multilingual interface and the size of a global catalogue.
What Visorando does better than AllTrails
- Hosting country named in the legal notice: OVH in Roubaix, France
- Free circuit drawing on IGN and OSM base maps
- Search by distance, duration, difficulty and elevation gain
- GPX import tool
Where Visorando is a step down from AllTrails
- Site and legal text are in French
- Premium price and content not shown on the pages we read
- Offline use is not described, and route quality varies by contributor
Standout against AllTrails. Visorando is the only entry here whose legal notice names its host and the host's street address.
Best for: Cyclists who looked at AllTrails for rides and want a cycling-only planner
Bikemap GmbH is registered in Vienna at the Handelsgericht Wien (FN 426878 m), and the terms set Vienna as the place of jurisdiction. The service is cycling only, with a route planner by bike type and style, GPX and KML export, and offline maps with voice navigation under Premium. It is on this page because cyclists often search for an AllTrails alternative.
Premium costs €9 a month, €39 a year or €99 for 3 years, the last of which expires without renewal. The privacy policy names Amazon Web Services in Luxembourg for web hosting and notes possible transfers to the parent company in the USA. Walkers gain nothing here, and riders trade AllTrails' automatic renewal for a three-year option.
What Bikemap does better than AllTrails
- A three-year payment of €99 that ends without renewal
- Route planning by bike type and cycling style
- Vienna named as place of jurisdiction for disputes
- GPX and KML export
Where Bikemap is a step down from AllTrails
- Cycling only; nothing for walking or running
- Offline maps, voice navigation and GPX export need Premium
- AWS hosting with possible transfers to the USA
Standout against AllTrails. Bikemap sells a three-year plan that simply stops, where AllTrails subscriptions renew until you cancel.
Best for: Motorcyclists who want winding routes rather than hiking trails
calimoto GmbH is registered at the Berlin Charlottenburg district court under HRB 175693 B, with a legal notice address in Potsdam and VAT ID DE306450342. You enter a start and a distance, and the app calculates a route along the most winding roads, scoring it with a Calimeter before you ride. It does not replace AllTrails for anyone on foot.
Basic, Standard and Premium plans exist, and a 14-day free test is offered, but the pages we read show no prices. Premium adds turn-by-turn voice navigation, offline maps, group sharing, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and GPX, KML and ITN import and export are listed. The legal notice says Potsdam while the terms give Berlin as registered seat.
What calimoto does better than AllTrails
- A twisty roads algorithm and a Calimeter score for motorcycle rides
- Android Auto and Apple CarPlay in Premium
- GPX, KML and ITN import and export
- A 14-day free test before paying
Where calimoto is a step down from AllTrails
- Built for motorcycles, with no hiking catalogue
- Plan prices are not shown on the pages we read
- Navigation and offline maps need Premium
Standout against AllTrails. calimoto scores how winding a road is before you ride it, which no walking app on this page does.
Best for: Hikers who want to name the summits around them and already use a route app
PeakFinder draws a panorama from digital elevation models and labels the peaks in a live camera view, with coverage from 85 degrees north to 85 degrees south. The contact page gives Peak Finder GmbH at Eglistrasse 8 in Zurich, while the legal page names PeakFinder Ltd, and we could not reconcile the two. Switzerland is outside the EU, with an adequacy decision.
PeakFinder does not plan routes or record tracks, so it replaces nothing in AllTrails. Its resources page lists Copernicus DEM, NASADEM and LiDAR terrain data, and says peak data quality in OpenStreetMap is good in Europe and the USA. No price appears on the pages we read. Use it next to one of the route apps above.
What PeakFinder does better than AllTrails
- Names peaks in a live camera view, a function AllTrails does not list on its home page
- Open data sources and licences are listed on the resources page
- API published on GitHub
Where PeakFinder is a step down from AllTrails
- No route planning, trail catalogue or track recording
- Legal entity named inconsistently between pages
Standout against AllTrails. PeakFinder exports a panorama as SVG for printing, which turns a summit view into a labelled drawing.
What actually breaks when you switch
The slowest part of leaving AllTrails is your own archive. Tracks can leave as GPX, but reviews, star ratings and the structure of your saved lists stay behind. Plan an evening to export, rename and sort the files before you cancel. If you pay by subscription, find out whether you bought through the website or an app store, because cancelling in the wrong place leaves the renewal running.
Habits cost more than data. AllTrails users are used to one catalogue worldwide, and European apps are regional: bergfex and Alpenvereinaktiv are strongest in the Alps, Visorando in France, SityTrail around Belgium and France, komoot and Outdooractive across Europe. Expect to use two apps for a while, a planner such as komoot or Outdooractive and an offline map such as OsmAnd or Organic Maps. Test the offline download for your destination at home, not at the trailhead.
How do I move my AllTrails recordings and lists to a European app?
Start by exporting every activity you want to keep as a GPX file from your AllTrails account, and keep the originals in a folder you control before you cancel anything. GPX carries the line of the track and its timestamps, but not the reviews, star ratings or the list structure you built inside AllTrails.
Then import the files into the app you chose. OsmAnd displays GPX tracks on its map and Visorando has a GPX import tool; check the import step of the other apps before you commit. If you pay for AllTrails, switch off the automatic renewal in the same step, since deleting the app does not cancel a subscription bought through the web or an app store.
Is there a European hiking app with maps for the Alps?
Yes, and the Alps are where European providers are strongest. Alpenvereinaktiv is run by the German, Austrian and South Tyrolean Alpine clubs with huts, condition reports and avalanche situation pages. Outdooractive, which operates it, plans tours for more than 30 activities, and bergfex from Graz adds weather and webcams.
For offline use in the mountains, check what each plan includes before you leave. Alpenvereinaktiv lists offline saving under Pro, Outdooractive lists offline maps under Pro on a 12-month contract, and OsmAnd and Organic Maps both work offline with downloaded OpenStreetMap regions.
Which one to pick
For most European walkers, start with komoot if you want sport-specific suggestions and a community library, or Outdooractive if your trips are in the Alps and you want 30-plus activities and watch sync. Alpenvereinaktiv is the pick when hut information and avalanche conditions matter. bergfex fits if weather and webcams drive your choice of day. SityTrail and Visorando are the local options for Belgium and France.
If the main reason to leave is the contract and the tracking, add Organic Maps or OsmAnd as the offline layer: both run on OpenStreetMap, Organic Maps is free and needs no account, and OsmAnd offers a €69.99 one-time purchase. Locus Map suits those who like to configure. Keep AllTrails if your hiking is mostly in US national parks; none of the European tools here is built around them.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the job. For route planning by sport, komoot from Schönefeld, Germany, has a free account. For Alpine tours, Outdooractive and Alpenvereinaktiv list free Basic plans. For offline maps without ads or tracking, Organic Maps and OsmAnd run on OpenStreetMap. SityTrail from Liège lists a free plan at EUR 0 a year, and Visorando suits walkers in France.
No. The AllTrails terms name AllTrails, LLC as the party you contract with, and the trademark notice describes it as a registered US trademark of that company. We did not find a European branch or a city on the pages we read. The terms apply California law and US federal law, with consumer protections for EEA and UK residents preserved by their local mandatory rules.
Several. Organic Maps is free with no ads and no account. OsmAnd has a free version limited to 7 map downloads. Alpenvereinaktiv and Outdooractive list a free Basic plan, SityTrail lists EUR 0 a year, and komoot has a free account with a home region. Visorando lets you draw circuits for free. Each paid tier gates something, usually offline maps.
OsmAnd and Organic Maps work from downloaded OpenStreetMap regions, and Locus Map lists offline maps and offline routing. Outdooractive and Alpenvereinaktiv put offline saving under Pro. SityTrail puts downloadable IGN maps under Premium, and Bikemap and calimoto put offline maps under their paid plans. bergfex and Visorando did not describe offline use on the pages we read.
You can export your own recordings as GPX files while the account is open. The terms say you own the User Material you submit but license it to AllTrails permanently, so what you published stays covered by that licence. Reviews and star ratings are not portable, and no European app on this page lists a way to import them.
