swisschecker: Switzerland Map

Ask Switzerland – in your own words.

IMPORTANT: swisschecker is a private, independent app. It does not represent any government agency and is not affiliated with the Swiss federal administration or any other public body. The data comes from publicly available sources, all listed below with links.

"From Bern to Zermatt", "Hike from Kandersteg to Oeschinensee", "How warm is the Aare?", "Temperature in Bern since 1864": swisschecker understands the question and fetches the answer live from the open data of public bodies. Nothing is made up – if a source is missing, the app tells you.

ROUTE PLANNER ON THE MAP
• Hiking, cycling, driving and public transport on the national map
• Drag start, finish and stops with your finger – the route recalculates
• Walking time by the Swiss Hiking Federation's formula, with elevation profile
• Car routes with car trains: Lötschberg, Furka and Vereina included when they save time
• Save maps offline – for places without signal
• Fullscreen navigation with live arrival time

SWISS PUBLIC TRANSPORT TIMETABLE IN SECONDS
• Connections with platform, changes and the way on the map
• Departures from any stop
• Cancellations and disruptions from official real-time data
• Stops with a stay on the way: Thun – Bern (2 h) – Zurich

SWITZERLAND WEATHER – YESTERDAY'S TOO
• MeteoSwiss forecasts hour by hour, mountain villages included
• Weather history: measurements back to 1864, chart zoomable to the hour
• Rain, sun, wind, snow, pollen, UV and warnings

PRIVATE
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your location is not stored; the app queries the sources directly, without any identifier.
