Solo hiker on a forest trail

No friends free this weekend? No problem.

Marcus has had a trail bookmarked for months. This Saturday finally looks perfect — clear skies, no wind. But every friend he texts is busy. In the past he would have stayed home. Instead he opens Pathsie.

Group of hikers at mountain campsite

Group trips are fun. Planning them doesn't have to be painful.

Eight friends. One mountain. Three days. The WhatsApp group has 340 messages. Nobody knows who paid for the van rental. Half the group doesn't know the trail name. Someone forgot the tent. They needed a better way.

Couple hiking in the Alps

Adventure freely. Let the people who love you breathe easy.

Alex and Priya are spending two weeks trekking through the Swiss Alps. But Priya's mother calls twice a day. Alex's father keeps sending weather alerts from Istanbul. The worry is real — and it's affecting the trip. Before they fly, they set up Pathsie for the whole family.
