If you just want to browse where you've been, JOSM
(https://josm.openstreetmap.de/) can easily handle hundreds of GPX
tracks at once, and has a variety of backgrounds you can use.  Most of
them are aerial photographs, but it also has some rendered maps.  The
topographic options for Switzerland include OpenTopoMap, OpenCycleMap,
Thunderforest Landscape, and Stamen Terrain (a pure hillshading layer,
no topo lines or anything else).
