I am using the inspire HR and do a lot of hiking, sadly it's not traking the hight

 

Is there any other product who can do this?

Unfortunately, the Inspire HR doesn't have an altimeter so can't track floors. See: List of Fitbit products - Wikipedia

 

Many other fitbit models do track floors as you'll see from that chart but that not be what you are looking for. They track a floor when it detects a rise of around 10 feet while constantly walking. With hiking, you get lots of ups and downs and so many "floors" will not be counted. The floor count when hiking gives a minimum altitude gain but will not be an accurate measure.

I thought I should be possible, because it uses the GPS of the phone, that was my hope

You may well be right, GPS can certainly track elevation gain. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about using connected GPS with an Inspire HR to comment. Hopefully you'll get responses from someone that uses that feature.

Hi I used my inspire a few times with my gps on and I don't think it counts elevation based on looking at my old runs. I know there are phone apps that will measure hikes with elevations not sure if they'll sync to fitbit though
