Outdooractive Experts
For more than 30 years, Outdooractive has been helping outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy their outdoor experiences to the full with its comprehensive web and app features and unique routing technology – from ambitious hikers to hobby skiers, from weekend mountain bikers to professional riders. Outdooractive connects a global community and works with almost 5,000 industry experts such as tourism organisations, guides and trail managers to provide reliable tour suggestions and make officially recognised content easily accessible. Through our B2B platform, which distinguishes 15 different sectors in tourism, we build the alliance of officials and enable valuable interaction between our outdoor community and the offer of the officials.
