Some routes have characters like ":" in them which can be illegal on certain filesystems. Remove the known common ones and replace them with an underscore.

# 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.
|
|
|
|
Take a look at their
|
|
[safety instructions](https://www.sac-cas.ch/en/training-and-safety/safety/).
