Swiss Hiking App

I thought I would share a little gadget for this month of August that might come in handy should you be looking for inspirational activities to do with your kids.

The Swiss Tourism board has launched an app called Swiss Hike. It enables you to call up 32 attractive hikes offline. Each hike comes with a general description, details of the climbs and descents, duration and difficulty together with the relevant swisstopo map extract on a scale of 1:25,000. The iPhone application also features practical information on restaurants and places to stay en route. Now how cool is that?
