Best app for Swiss maps and walking tour

Short summary – read this first

A traveler is visiting Switzerland for 8 days this month, planning to explore Zurich, St. Moritz, Zermatt, Bern, and Lucerne. They want to do a city walking tour in Bern but can't fit it into their schedule since the tours are only available on Saturday, and they're there on Sunday and Monday. They seek recommendations for a helpful app to guide them through the city on their own.

Key takeaways:
  • Consider using the SwitzerlandMobility app to create your own walking routes and access suggested ones.
  • Check out audio tours in Bern that are available every day for a guided experience.
  • Look for local apps that provide maps and information for self-guided tours in Swiss cities.

    Hi Cathyburke15,

    I don’t know of an app for Bern specifically. In general, for walks in Switzerland, you can find suggestions here: http://www.myswissalps.com/hi king. Each route has a map that you can expand to full screen. It works fine on phones too. Apart from that I use the SwitzerlandMobility app myself, as you can create your own routes in it on a PC and then display them in their app. I think they have suggested routes too but I didn’t look at those yet.

    This audio tour in Bern is available on all days, by the way: https://www.getyourgui de.com/bern-l52/bern-tour-with-ipod-audio-guide-t42753/.
