Route-first guidance
Distance, elevation, and markers stay tied to the path so the hike can be previewed and played back.

The mobile companion
Know the trail before it asks something of you.
Talus brings route planning, terrain awareness, nearby places, and cached trail context into one calm hiking experience. It is made for people who want the mountain to feel legible without turning the walk into a dashboard.
Cached route ready
Vindbelgjarfjall
2.5 km route - audio cues prepared
Curated hikes
Audio that belongs to a place, not a playlist.
A Talus hike can speak when you reach a marker, point your compass toward what you are looking at, and show photos or notes as the route unfolds.
Look here moments
Compass prompts can point hikers toward mountains, craters, lakes, and other features in view.
Offline confidence
Routes, photos, and audio can be cached before the walk so the story still works away from signal.
For Iceland first, built to travel
Local knowledge, packaged for the trail.
Talus starts with Icelandic routes, regions, mountains, and stories, then makes them discoverable by location so visitors and locals can find the right walk where they are.
Talus Studio
The authoring room for guided trails.
Studio is where curated hikes are drawn, named, enriched with landmarks, mixed with multilingual audio, and prepared for publishing back into the Talus app.
