Turn your daily walk into a virtual adventure
Your everyday movement maps onto iconic trails — walk, run, roll, or use a treadmill, anywhere in the world.

How it works
Virtualtrails is a fitness companion that maps your real-world movement onto virtual journeys — not a route planner for your next trip. Browse available trails, try a demo in seconds, or create an account to save progress and connect the apps you already use.
Step 1
Choose a trail
Pick a virtual trail that motivates you — from famous routes like the Milford Track or Routeburn Track to journeys around the world.
Step 2
Start a journey
Learn what happens when you start a trail, how active and next-up journeys work, and what happens when you finish.
Step 3
Make progress every day
Learn how your real-world distance maps onto the trail, which fitness platforms can sync automatically, and how manual logging works.
Why people use Virtualtrails
Motivation and progress — not trail maps or trip planning.
Stay motivated
Turn everyday exercise into something you want to complete, with visible progress along real trails.
Escape boring routes
Walk the same streets, but experience a new journey every day on a virtual trail.
See real progress
Watch yourself move along iconic paths, step by step, from wherever you are.
Connect to the fitness apps you already use
Connect to Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Health, or Strava to automatically log your workouts and map them in Virtualtrails.
Updates and achievements
As your real-world movement advances you along a virtual trail, unlock achievements and surprises tied to how far you’ve come — photos, notes, and moments that keep you motivated. Progress updates help you see what’s next on the journey, not turn-by-turn directions in the field.
Team journeys
Tackle the same virtual journey with friends, family, or colleagues. Pool your distance in collaborative mode or compare progress in competitive mode — everyone’s everyday steps still map onto one shared route toward the finish.
Challenges
Give your walking or running a clear goal: complete a set route, hit a distance target, or push for a personal best. Challenges turn steady movement into something concrete to work toward — motivation first, leaderboards optional.
