The new website provides visualisation of the various sections of the trails with the help of Google Maps and Google Earth as well as additional information such as route profile, total length, level of difficulty, time required, signposting, topographic details and tips for guide books.
For the Italian area of the Alps, the website offers information and links to package holiday and other tourism service providers, including accommodation along the routes. There is also a new community section where users can compare notes and offer mutual advice in the form of blogs and chat forums.
