You can move your AllTrails hikes into HiiKER. Download each one from AllTrails as a file, then import it into the right place in HiiKER:
- My Recordings is for hikes you have done. Recordings keep their times and count towards your HiiKER stats and peak bagging.
- My Planned Hikes is for routes you want to walk. You can edit them and follow them on the map.

Step 1: Download your hikes from AllTrails
- Sign in on the AllTrails website, open your profile and select Activities.
- Open the hike you want to move to HiiKER.
- Click the Options icon (three horizontal dots).
- Select Download route.
- Choose the GPX or Garmin FIT (ANT+) format. The file downloads to your computer. GPX works everywhere in HiiKER; FIT files can only be imported on the website.
Step 2: Import on the website
To import planned hikes:
- Sign in and go to hiiker.app/user/hikes.
- Click Import files.
- Drop your files into the window, or click Choose files.
- Each hike is added to My Planned Hikes.


To import recordings:
- Sign in and go to hiiker.app/user/recordings.
- Click Import files.
- Drop your files into the window, or click Choose files.
- Each recording is added to My Recordings.


Both windows take GPX, KML, FIT, TCX or GeoJSON files. You can add one file, several files or a ZIP.
Step 3: Import in the app
You can also import GPX files on your phone. Copy the files to your phone first, for example with Files on iPhone or Google Drive.
To import recordings:
- On the Home tab, tap My Recordings.
- Tap + at the top right and choose Import recording.
- Tap Choose Files (iPhone) or Choose GPX files (Android) and select one or more GPX files.
- Tap Import Files. Each file becomes a new recording.


To import planned hikes: tap My Planned Hikes on the Home tab instead, then + > Import hike, and follow the same steps.
Anything you import on the website also appears in the app, and the other way round.
Good to know
- Recordings need timestamps. If HiiKER says a file is a route rather than a recording, import it into My Planned Hikes instead.
- The website imports GPX, KML, FIT, TCX and GeoJSON files, or a ZIP. The app imports GPX files.
- On the website, if a file in your selection can’t be imported, HiiKER shows the reason and stops at that file. Check My Recordings or My Planned Hikes to see which files were imported before you try again, so nothing is imported twice.
- Imported hikes are private. Only you can see them until you change their privacy.
- If your HiiKER account is connected to Strava, recordings you import are posted to Strava too. If you don’t want that, disconnect Strava first at hiiker.app/user/integrations.
- Imported recordings count towards your stats and peak bagging. See How peak bagging works in HiiKER.
