Ski Path helps you navigate ski resorts like a local. Plan routes between any two points on the mountain — from lift stations to run entrances — and get turn-by-turn directions across lifts, runs, and walking connections. PLAN YOUR ROUTE Pick a start and end point from the interactive trail map, or use your GPS location. Ski Path finds the optimal route across lifts and runs, showing every step of the way. FILTER BY DIFFICULTY Set your maximum difficulty level and Ski Path will only route you down runs you're comfortable with. Green, blue, red, or black — you choose. RESORTS WORLDWIDE Browse resorts across France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and the USA — from Chamonix and Zermatt to Vail and Jackson Hole. New resorts added regularly. INTERACTIVE TRAIL MAP Explore the full trail map powered by Mapbox. Tap any run or lift to see its name, difficulty, and length. Set start and end points directly from features on the map. SAVE YOUR ROUTES Bookmark your favourite routes for quick access. Label key locations like your hotel or a favourite restaurant for easy route planning every morning. GPS LOCATION Use your current position as a starting point. Ski Path snaps to the nearest node on the trail network so you always get an accurate route. DETAILED ROUTE STEPS See every segment of your route — which lifts to take, which runs to ski, and any short walks between connections. Tap a step to highlight it on the map. Download Ski Path and start planning your next day on the mountain. Privacy Policy: https://skipath.app/privacy
