Géotrek PyMed : a recent app for hikers
Géotrek PyMed is a unique and innovative new app, launched by the Communauté de communes Albères-Côte Vermeille-Illibéris to help hikers in the region better prepare their walks.
First conceived back in 2012 as a simple and practical tool for outdoor enthusiasts, the project brings together FREE downloadable route maps, local heritage info and loads of detail on flora and fauna.
This app is unique to France and since its inauguration in le Parc national des Écrins, has quickly been taken up across the French territory.
Launched in our region in June 2019, the Géotrek PyMed combines a website and a mobile application, allowing dedicated promotion of our incredible natural heritage, while also being an interface for the general public.
