Built for every mountain. Starting in the Balkans.

Real terrain, the slope of every face and what to know before you go. The map is live in the Western Balkans today; Europe is next, then the rest of the world.

/ Safety

Someone knows when you should be back.

Leave a trip plan before you go. If you don’t check in, Traverse raises the alarm step by step, and tells you exactly what it did.

  1. 01 — 04Not back?

    The app asks you to check in or extend the plan.

  2. 02 — 04Your emergency contact

    Gets an SMS with the plan and your last known position.

  3. 03 — 04Rescue organization

    If you shared the plan with a verified rescue organization, its staff see it.

  4. 04 — 04All clear

    Everyone who was alerted gets a message that you are back.

A partnership with mountain rescue is in progress. Until then, trip plans and SOS alert your emergency contact.

SOS

Hold for 3 seconds. Each status says only what we know.

  1. Prepared

    No data: an SMS to 112 and your contact opens with your coordinates. You send it.

  2. Sent

    Reached our server; responders and your contact were notified. Nobody has confirmed yet.

  3. Acknowledged

    A responder confirmed they have it. Only then does the app say so.

Traverse does not replace 112.
If you can call, call 112. The map describes terrain, not today’s danger.
