# SAC Route Portal GPX Downloader
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The (Swiss Alpine Club)[https://www.sac-cas.ch/en/] has a great
|
||
|
|
(route portal)[https://www.sac-cas.ch/en/huts-and-tours/sac-route-portal/]
|
||
|
|
for finding interesting hiking routes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However you can not download the tracks as gpx files, as they argue that the exact
|
||
|
|
paths are subject to change and it could be dangerous to adhere too closely to them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I do agree with that, but you can draw your own routes
|
||
|
|
and download those, mainly taking some time to draw after the route they are
|
||
|
|
already showing on the map.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With this extension you can select any track and then download it as a gpx file
|
||
|
|
(an active subscription is needed).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Be Cautious!
|
||
|
|
Heed their warning and do not blindly follow the gps track! Use your brain and
|
||
|
|
plan your route beforehand to be aware of dangerous parts and alternatives.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
