What Outtt does
Outtt operates a consumer-facing outdoor recreation platform positioned as 'Europe's largest' destination for discovering, planning, and navigating outdoor activities. The platform spans a web application and native iOS/Android apps that deliver interactive route planning for 30+ activity types (hiking, cycling, trail running, mountaineering, winter sports, water sports, equestrian, motorized tours), with offline maps, turn-by-turn voice navigation, 3D terrain visualization, weather and snow-depth data, and safety features including real-time BuddyBeacon location sharing and Skyline augmented-reality peak identification. Underlying the product is a 30+ year mapping stack built on official topographic data licensed from national agencies (Swisstopo, OS, IGN, USGS, NRCan, BEV, BKG) and curated route content from official alpine associations including DAV and ÖAV, complemented by user-generated routes and bidirectional activity sync with Garmin, Strava, Wahoo, Fitbit, adidas Running, and Polar.
The business operates a hybrid freemium model. Individual outdoor enthusiasts register free and are served an ad-supported experience, with annual subscription upsell to Pro and Pro+ tiers that unlock enhanced maps, partner discounts of up to 30% (Haglöfs, Helly Hansen, Garmin, INTERSPORT Rent, super.natural, Triple2, roadsurfer, PROPAIN, Campings.com), and exclusive content. A separate B2B SaaS line — 'Outdooractive Business / Alliance of the Officials' — licenses data management, marketing, and white-label web/app technology to tourism boards, alpine clubs, publishers, and destination management organizations, with third-party accommodation booking generating transactional revenue.
The company serves two primary segments: individual outdoor enthusiasts (hikers, cyclists, climbers, trail runners, winter-sports users, and casual travelers) seeking reliable, expert-curated routes and navigation; and tourism industry buyers (destination management organizations, alpine clubs, adventure tour operators, publishers) seeking digital platforms and content distribution. Go-to-market combines product-led growth (freemium consumer app), community-led engagement (challenges, groups, official content), direct-to-consumer distribution via app stores, and B2B SaaS sales to tourism organizations. Operating geographies span 15+ countries across Europe, North America, and Asia, with a stated headquarters in Imst, Austria (note: the firmographic block lists Oslo, Norway, with 1-10 employees, indicating a possible data discrepancy regarding entity scale and domicile). Revenue is not publicly disclosed; one funding round of approximately $479,532 is recorded in February 2017.

Outtt competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- AllTrails: The leading global hiking and outdoor trail discovery app with a large user-generated trail library. Directly comparable to Outdooractive on consumer trail discovery, route planning, and navigation, though stronger in the US market where Outdooractive is weaker.
- Komoot: European outdoor planning platform for hiking, cycling, and mountaineering with a strong route planning tool and content community. Directly competes with Outdooractive in DACH and broader European markets on the same core use cases.
- Wikiloc: Community-driven trail discovery platform with millions of user-uploaded routes worldwide. Directly comparable to Outdooractive on trail discovery and outdoor activity content, with particularly strong coverage in Spain and Latin America.
- Gaia GPS: Premium outdoor mapping and navigation app popular among backpackers and backcountry users in North America. Comparable on advanced offline maps, layering, and backcountry navigation — features that overlap with Outdooractive Pro/Pro+ offerings.
- Ride with GPS: Cycling-focused route planning, navigation, and ride-tracking platform. Comparable to Outdooractive's cycling offerings on route planning, navigation, and device integration, though narrower in activity scope.
- Trailforks: Mountain biking trail database and navigation platform with strong community-driven content. Overlaps with Outdooractive on mountain biking route discovery, conditions, and trail maps.
Broad incumbents
