About Above – Hiking & Summit Log

Everything you need for your hike Above accompanies you from planning to the memories afterward. Create your own route, keep track of your position, progress, and elevation profile on the trail, and preserve every hike with photos, notes, and detailed tour data. Plan your next hike Set your destinations and let Above find a suitable hiking route. Review the distance, elevation gain, estimated duration, terrain difficulty, and challenging sections before you start. Plan round trips or point-to-point routes and adjust them with your own waypoints. Know before you go Above warns you about known access restrictions and protected areas, both while planning your route and on the interactive map, with official Swiss sources and OpenStreetMap coverage worldwide. Stay oriented on the trail Record your hike and see your route, current position, progress, and elevation profile together on the map. Topographic maps, points of interest, relief shading, and slope-angle layers help you understand the terrain. Downloaded content remains available when there is no cellular reception. Weather and route alerts notify you about relevant conditions and when you leave your planned route. Preserve every hike Every recorded hike becomes part of your personal hiking archive. Add photos and notes, and keep your route, distance, elevation gain, duration, and reached summits together in one place. Group your hikes into collections Combine related tours into a collection: build a multi-day hike from separate recordings, gather everything from a hiking vacation, or bring a long-distance trail like the Jakobsweg together in one place. Your automatic summit log Above automatically identifies summits from recorded and imported hikes. Review your ascents, summit statistics, photos, and personal notes whenever you like. Discover and import hikes Search for hikes from hikr.org directly in Above, or import GPX files from other apps and websites.

What’s new

Version 1.1.3 · Updated October 10, 2026

On the trail • This update improves Above mainly under the hood. Recordings are now even more reliable, while Above uses less battery on the trail. • If you start a tour in the opposite direction, Above alerts you. You can either turn around or reverse the route with one tap. • Arrival detection is more precise and should no longer ask you too early whether you want to stop recording. • Details for places on the map have been redesigned to leave more room for the map. Summits now show photos when suitable images are available. Route planner • The new Explore mode lets you view places on the map without adding them directly to your route. • Several routing issues have been fixed. Restrictions such as private paths are now handled more reliably. • You can set your maximum trail difficulty in Settings. Above uses it both when planning routes and while hiking, when guiding you to a destination away from your planned route.
