-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.
