You may have a look at the gronze app with good map to hike with. Or gronze map sample Via Jacobi. It has a small map without much details. But the signage is good in Switzerland just follow the #4.Are there any apps (like via Fransigena, Sloways) for those two paths?
I think I saw an english guidebook for via jacobi somewhere but it was a few years old. There are more up to date german and french guides.Hi all
I have teo questions
1) What would be the best books (in English) first for Via Jacobi and then for Via Gebennensis?
2) Are there any apps (like via Fransigena, Sloways) for those two paths?
Best,

Thank you, Paul. Again. I will check also the accommodation. It's a important part of our journey.Check the ViaJacobi Homepage for accommodation. (german or french only)
Hi caminkaI think I saw an english guidebook for via jacobi somewhere but it was a few years old. There are more up to date german and french guides.
For english description of via jacobi and excellent up to date maps see https://schweizmobil.ch/en/hiking-in-switzerland/route-4.
For english description of via gebenennsis see my itinerary in the resources. In it is also a link to an english description of the route. ARA guidebook for 2024 is the best, it's in french and german, but the important info about services and accommodation is picture -coded.
Hi YMMVI will be starting at Le Puy (VĂa Podiensis/GR-65) route in mid-August, however I had been considering the via Gebennensis, an extension of the GR-65).
The following guide book was recommended to me by someone who walked it a couple of years ago. She believes it is the only one available in English and she found it very useful. (She herself has walked 13 routes).
