Our review
Visorando is published by Visorando, a SAS with a share capital of EUR 1,000 and its registered office at 6 rue de l'Industrie, 68360 Soultz, France. The legal notice names Fabien Biver as publication manager.
The same notice names OVH, Quai du Sartel, 59100 Roubaix, France, as host, which makes Visorando one of the few tools in this list with a stated hosting country.
Finding routes on Visorando
Visorando lets users search routes by distance, duration, difficulty and positive elevation gain. Activity filters include walking, mountain biking, road cycling, snowshoes, horse riding, skiing and boat or kayak.
The home page shows the latest routes with distance, ascent and a starting village, for example in Lozère and Indre-et-Loire.
Drawing and importing circuits on Visorando
Visorando states that users can create their own circuits for free and choose the base map, with IGN and OSM named as examples. The site also offers a GPX import tool.
A Premium tier is listed in the navigation, but its content and price were not on the pages we read.
Visorando as a European alternative to AllTrails
Visorando suits users who hike in France and want routes written by contributors in French. The interface and legal text are in French, which limits its use for other users.
Known limits
The pages we read are in French, the Premium contents and price are not shown, and offline map support is not described. Route descriptions come from contributors, so quality varies from route to route. Coverage outside French-speaking regions is not described. Compare with komoot for a multilingual route planner.
