We love data, so you don’t have to!
Our love for data is close to our love for hiking. We believe accurate and up-to-date trail stats are the key to planning an enjoyable hike. No-one likes unexpected miles or elevation during an already tough day on the trail. That’s why we invested in building the most accurate database of multi-day trail data.
Enjoy the planning part, we dare you
We pride ourselves on building products that are easy to use. They are simple, user-friendly solutions that make the planning process enjoyable, not stressful. But don’t mistake easy-to-use for simple. Our tools are built on complex models that are rigorously tested both in the office and on the trail!
Choose your own adventure
As hikers, we are all different. Some like to hike fast, others like to wander slow to enjoy the scenery. Some like to stay in fancy accommodation, while others sleep under the stars. No matter your hiking preference, The Hiking Club tools allow you to build an itinerary tailored for you and your hiking buddies.
OUR STORY
The Hiking Club was born in 2018, after Brendan and Susan completed their first multi-day hiking trip in Europe, the Walker’s Haute Route.
The planning process was overwhelming. The route, accommodation and transport information was fragmented. There were no up-to-date trail conditions. But the experience of hiking hut-to-hike was remarkable.
They knew there had to be a better way to plan, prepare, and navigate the legendary trail in the Alps.
After many early versions of our product, a few COVID years where travel stopped still, and many lessons learnt, Nick reached out with a simple, yet momentous email titled ‘Can I Help?’.
Since then, Brendan, Susan and Nick have together launched the first purpose-built app for planning multi-day hikes. With our up-to-date trail information, expert consultations, online events, a training program, and an active ambassador community, The Hiking Club has everything a self-guided hiker needs to confidently plan and navigate their epic adventure.
