The TrailSplits route planner lets you create hiking, trail running, cycling, and mountain biking routes directly in your browser. Click on the map to place waypoints, and the planner automatically calculates the best path between them using trail-aware routing powered by GraphHopper and Valhalla.
Every route includes a detailed elevation profile with colour-coded gradient zones. See exactly where the steep climbs and descents are, along with total elevation gain, loss, and estimated moving time based on your chosen activity type and pace.
The planner analyses surface types along your route - asphalt, gravel, dirt, rock - and provides a difficulty rating from 1 to 10. This helps you choose the right shoes and prepare for the terrain you will encounter.
Download your route as a GPX file and import it into any GPS device or watch - Garmin, Coros, Suunto, Apple Watch, and more. The GPX includes the full route geometry with elevation data.
Before you head out, preview your route with a cinematic 3D flyover. The camera follows the trail using real terrain data, giving you a bird's-eye view of the landscape, ridgelines, and valleys along the way.
