The complete, multilingual welcome book for your chalet or mountain rental — finished and ready, not an empty template. From Wi-Fi to mountain weather and the best hiking trail: your guests find everything within seconds, and you get fewer messages and more 5-star reviews.
One-time · lifetime access · always editable in your Welcomap app
A personal intro from you as the host.
Address, key, parking — even with snow or narrow mountain roads.
The most-asked info right at hand.
Sudden weather changes, altitude, graded trails, avalanche info (winter) & emergency numbers.
Your favourite hiking & cycling routes, viewpoints and mountain lakes.
Local favourites — not an anonymous list.
A great stay even when it rains.
A smooth departure + the door to a rebooking.
Trail grading: 🟢 blue = easy · red = experience needed · black = experts only. Tell someone your route and return time; there isn't signal everywhere.
A free template (€7-12) offers no mountain-specific info on avalanche risk, sudden weather changes and routes by skill level; a guide app (~$99/year) rarely covers that fully. Welcomap includes that mountain safety guide as standard, multilingual and native-checked, for a one-time €19.

A free template gives you an empty skeleton you have to fill in and translate yourself. A guide app costs you again every year. Welcomap gives you the quality of the expensive option — finished, multilingual, with a mountain safety guide — for a one-time price.
You fill in your own details in the Welcomap app — WiFi network and password, address, house rules and local tips — and see a live preview of your welcome book right away. After payment, you immediately receive the full, watermark-free PDF, ready to print or share. You can always go back to the app to make changes.
Every welcome book comes standard in Dutch, English and German — the three languages that cover most international guests. For €29 instead of €19, you can expand to all 6 languages, adding French, Spanish and Italian, ideal if you regularly welcome guests from those countries.
Yes, always — for free, as often as you like. At purchase you get a personal link to your book in the Welcomap app. Changed your WiFi password, updated a house rule, or found a new favourite restaurant? Open that link, update your details and download the new version right away — no Canva or other program needed.
Most hosts print the welcome book and leave it somewhere visible in the property, for example on the table or next to the keys. You can also add a QR code to the PDF or hang one up separately, so guests can open the book straight on their own phone — handy for anyone who'd rather not flip through a folder.
Headache, nausea and dizziness from around 2,500 metres can indicate altitude sickness. If in doubt, ascend more slowly, drink enough water, and descend if symptoms persist. For severe symptoms such as confusion or breathing difficulty: call 112 immediately.
No — signal can drop out in valleys, dense forest and at high altitude. Download offline maps in advance and ask the tourist office about emergency procedures that work without signal, for example via a nearby mountain hut.
