Ridian and the SAC: Bringing more reliability to the outdoors

With the Swiss Alpine Club SAC, we were able to bring an important partner into the Ridian Expert Network at an early stage. The SAC provides high-quality tour content for Switzerland and actively contributes its long-standing experience to the development of Ridian.

Reliable information for safe tours

Anyone planning a tour relies on the information available. But this is exactly where many outdoor enthusiasts repeatedly run into challenges: route descriptions are outdated, routes have changed, or current conditions create safety risks that are not communicated.

With Ridian, we want to create a platform that is more than a collection of tours. Quality, up-to-date information, and clear responsibilities are at the center of this work. Together with the Ridian Expert Network, we want to create a reliable foundation for high-quality outdoor experiences.

Building the Ridian Expert Network

To make Ridian's vision a reality, we are building a network of local outdoor organizations and professionals. Only people who know a region and its particular characteristics can create high-quality tours and maintain them over time. In Switzerland, we have already been able to bring in a significant partner.

The Swiss Alpine Club as our first partner

With the SAC, we have found the ideal partner in Switzerland for this path. For generations, the SAC has stood for alpine expertise and connected people who are interested in the mountain world. It promotes training and continuing education, advocates for free access to the mountains, and supports the sustainable development and preservation of the mountain world.

Our values are closely aligned, especially when it comes to safety, orientation, and respectful interaction with nature. As part of the Ridian Expert Network, the SAC provides high-quality tour content for Switzerland. Thanks to this early partnership, it also contributes its expertise directly to the development of Ridian.

Together, we are pursuing the goal of strengthening reliability in digital tour planning and creating a holistic digital companion for outdoor activities, from inspiration to planning, execution, and follow-up.

Building something lasting together

We are proud to walk this path together and to build Ridian from the very beginning with partners who stand for quality, expertise, and responsibility.
