Select a hike with Altituderando

Our number 1 ally for find the best hiking route This is the new mobile app Altituderando ! Not only do we find our hiking ideas in France and worldwide, with more than 10,000 routes suggested based on a multi-criteria search : activities, difficulty, duration, locations or even specific points of interest. But in addition, the app in hand accompanies us on the ground thanks to the topos and maps that can be downloaded in advance, then viewed offline and find your way around and get your bearings when hiking.

To there find THE bivouac spot and the hiking route which leads there, several solutions: in the search engine, combine the search for a massif + a point of interest, lake for example - which are often good places near which to pitch the tent -, or filter the hikes from 2 days. You will also find on the platform resource pages on The Great Treks or even Mountain lakes for hiking routes including bivouacs.

The little extra that means that, for O'rentees, Altituderando is a reference in terms of identifying and preparing our hikes and bivouacs? It is a participatory platform for mountain hiking! Which means that every mountain lover can become an author and propose topos which will then be validated by the moderators. Of course, Altituderando is a community driven by the mountain protection, our playground for all, and which wishes to raise awareness of respect for the environment when hiking and the regulation of bivouacking. We therefore largely adhere to the two main values ofAltituderando, sharing and eco-responsibility, just like the slogan Mountain, bivouac & génépi!

Find hiking ideas from bloggers

Many hiking enthusiasts also indulge in the joys of writing and, through this, sharing their experiences.'hiking routes and bivouac spots! This is the case for some travel bloggers or specialized outdoor bloggers! The advantage of these blogs and articles on bivouacs and hiking is that they are written by people you can refer to and identify with according to their level or situation: rather amateur, regular or sporty hiker, or solo or with family. This gives you an indication of the level of the hike. Moreover, very often, the articles are full of practical information since the bloggers themselves use more or less technical tools to identify their hiking routes which they then report. Consulting hiking blogs and articles therefore allows you to inspire and project yourself, through content rich in information, as well as images!

We invite you to follow content creators who are aware of sustainable issues and who can also guide you in your responsible practice of hiking and bivouacking (eco-friendly actions, regulations for bivouacking in nature, etc.)
