📖Stamp Story

Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port

Camino Francés · Stage 1

For nine centuries, pilgrims have squeezed through the Porte Saint-Jacques — the last French gate before the Pyrenees. Medieval kings, Franciscan friars, and Charlemagne's soldiers all began the same climb from this Navarrese frontier town.

No internet needed

Every stop has a story

We spent months writing the history behind each waypoint. Not just a dot on a timeline, but nine centuries of pilgrims, emperors, and stonecutters who walked the same path. Here's a taste.

The full prose for every waypoint lives inside the app.

A quiet labor of love for fellow pilgrims

Sacred Trails started with a simple frustration: phone-dependent pilgrim apps stop working when you lose signal in the mountains. We wanted something that walked with you, not one that needed constant Wi-Fi to stay useful.

So we spent months: mapping every stage, writing the story of every waypoint across 10 languages, verifying lodging, stamping practices, and the small practical details that make a difference on a hard afternoon. 18 routes. Thousands of waypoints. No ads, no subscription, no data collection.

If what we built helps your pilgrimage, the App Store price is how you can support the project. One $2.99 purchase unlocks everything, funds future routes, and tells us this matters. Either way — Buen Camino.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Sacred Trails work offline?

Yes. All route content including waypoints, stages, lodging, and POIs is bundled in the app. No internet connection is required on the trail, and no map tiles need to be downloaded.

How many pilgrimage routes are included?

Sacred Trails covers 18 routes: all 12 Camino de Santiago routes (Francés, Portugués, Norte, Primitivo, Inglés, del Sur, Vía de la Plata, Invierno, Sanabrés, Catalán, Levante, Aragonés), 4 Kumano Kodo routes (Nakahechi, Kohechi, Ohechi, Iseji), the Shikoku 88-Temple Henro, and the Saigoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage.

How much does Sacred Trails cost?

Sacred Trails is a one-time $2.99 purchase on the App Store. That single price unlocks all 18 routes in all 10 languages. No subscription, no per-route fees, no hidden upgrades.

Which languages are supported?

Sacred Trails is fully localized in 10 languages: English, Japanese, Spanish, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, French, German, Portuguese, and Italian. Interface, route descriptions, waypoint names, and POI labels are all translated.

Do I need a GPS signal or cellular data?

Neither. The stage timeline does not depend on GPS or network. You read the next stage, landmarks, and lodging from the bundled data even in deep mountain sections with zero signal.

Is there a traditional map view?

Sacred Trails uses a Stage Timeline rather than a scroll-and-pan map. Each route is broken into clearly defined stages with distances, elevations, cumulative mileage, lodging clusters, and key waypoints — the information pilgrims actually use day to day.

Can I walk several routes on a single purchase?

Yes. The $2.99 price includes every route forever. Many pilgrims walk the Camino Francés one year and the Kumano Kodo the next; Sacred Trails is built for exactly that kind of multi-route pilgrim.

How often is content updated?

Route data is reviewed regularly and shipped through standard App Store updates. Waypoint corrections, lodging changes, and new POIs are rolled into app updates at no extra cost.

Does it work on iPad?

Yes. Sacred Trails runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 16.0 or later. The stage timeline adapts to larger screens with multi-column layouts.

Is there an Android version?

Sacred Trails is iOS-only at launch. An Android build is on the roadmap and will be announced on this site.
