Can I download GPX files for these trails for free?
Yes, with no sign-up. Multi-day trails have a GPX of the whole mapped route and one for each stage; a guide with a day planner also gives one for each day of the plan you choose, with its closures and notes written in. Any of them opens in the Planner. Some single day walks are shown on the map and in the Planner without a download.
How are the trails split into stages?
Guides with a day planner split the trail at huts and villages, and you choose your own nights. The other guides follow the operator's official stages where one publishes them, or are cut into stages by distance and public transport; those stages are not checked overnight stops. Each stage has its distance, ascent, an estimated time and its own GPX.
Are the trail guides free to use?
Yes. The guides, their GPX files, elevation profiles, the trip builder and offline preparation are free and need no account.
