Planning a trip with a Sceniq guide

Start from the whole map

Lists hide geography; the map shows it. Open the guide and look for clusters first: five pins around one valley is a day, two pins across a pass is a decision. Pick where you sleep by where the pins thicken.

Filter to the trip you actually booked

You booked three days, a rental car and mixed weather, so cut the guide down to that. Filter by region to your valley, by effort to what your knees and your company can carry, by access to what works when the car stays parked. The map drops from 134 pins to nine, and nine is a plan.

Let light and effort set the schedule

Each entry carries best light and effort, and those two facts arrange a day on their own: clear-sky lakes take the flexible midday, sunset spots take the evening, the steep approach takes the fresh legs of the morning. When an entry warns that a famous spot fills up, you know which alarm to set.

Use the access line the night before

The access notes read like a friend’s text: “Cable car + short walk”, “Postbus + walk”, “Cable car + 2 hour hike”. Check them the evening before, note the first lift or bus, and the morning runs itself. Where a spot carries a wild camping verdict, you know before you carry a tent up whether the answer is yes, restricted or forbidden.

On the trip

The guide lives in the browser, signed in with your purchase email, so the phone in your pocket carries the plan. Spots link straight to your maps app for the drive. After the trip the guide stays in your library, and the next visit starts from the same map.
