Some pedestrian routes are no longer recognized?

Hi @epistrophy42
unfortunately it isn’t possible currently to add this information to a current profile, and we do not have the hardware resources to host another profile (each planet wide “pedestrian” profile needs a minimum of a 128GB machine to run it…)

A workaround that we have which can circumnavigate the issue with openrouteservice not being able to go over some ways is to use the “Add as direct point” option when you right click on the map. This basically tells openrouteservice to just use a straight line between that point and the last waypoint, ignoring the actual paths. So you could put a via point before the via ferrata, then a direct point after it, and then carry on routing as normal. It is not the “optimal” solution as it does require some manual entry and finding the via ferrata, but in most use cases it is the “best” solution.

In the above example though, the problem is that the entire way south of the Santnerpasshütte is tagged as difficult_alpine_hiking, and so you would have to skip that entire way.
