komoot – Plan, Discover & Navigate Outdoor Routes

komoot is a digital outdoor platform for planning, navigating and discovering routes for hiking, cycling, mountain biking, road cycling and running. At its core is an activity-specific route planner that helps users create tours according to distance, terrain, elevation and the type of outdoor activity they want to pursue. Routes can be prepared in advance and then followed with the mobile app or compatible navigation devices.

The platform also supports discovery. Users can browse recommended tours, highlights and places shared by other members of the community. This makes komoot useful both for people who already know where they want to go and for those looking for ideas in a particular region. Offline maps allow planned routes to remain available when mobile reception is limited, which is particularly useful during outdoor activities.

Recorded tours can be saved to a personal profile and shared with other users. Photos, highlights and practical observations can add context to completed activities and contribute to the community-based discovery features. Depending on the device and setup, komoot can also connect with supported GPS computers and wearables.

The service is therefore more than a simple map collection. Its main purpose combines outdoor route planning, navigation, tour discovery and activity documentation. Within Vippale, komoot belongs in the outdoor and route-planning area because these functions define how visitors use the platform. Planning and discovery are closely connected: a route can be adjusted after inspecting surfaces, elevation and community highlights, while completed activities can in turn contribute useful information for future explorers. This combination makes the service relevant for both everyday local outings and longer trips in unfamiliar regions.
