topo^alpin vs SummitList

topo^alpin runs your route against the terrain it crosses, against the avalanche situation and against six weather models. The elevation profile takes on colour, and you can tap the places where it gets serious. For the whole Alpine arc. Free, ad-free, no account. THE TOUR-CHECK Upload a GPX file or draw the route on the map. The elevation profile is coloured by risk, and key sections can be tapped and assessed one by one. The avalanche terrain rating says what the terrain is like – regardless of today's conditions. Green means the day does not decide here. Red means it decides everything. Computed with the published AutoATES v2 method, as one dataset for the whole Alpine arc. MOUNTAIN WEATHER AT THE SUMMIT, NOT IN THE VALLEY A weather model's grid point can sit 2000 m below the summit, where rain falls while snow stays up top. Fresh snow, gusts, freezing level and the weather symbol therefore apply to the elevation you are standing at. Six weather models as a weighted ensemble, across 10 days and at 48-hour resolution. The elevation grid shows, band by band, whether rain or snow is falling, with the snow line drawn in. Plus thunderstorm risk, summit wind, cloud layers and elevation-corrected sun times. Measured, not forecast: snow depth and fresh snow from the nearest mountain station, out of more than 1600 stations in six countries. Official avalanche bulletins and weather warnings come with it. THE MAP Official topographic maps of Switzerland, Austria, Bavaria and France, joined seamlessly across the borders. Plus our own map for the whole Alpine arc, aerial imagery and 3D relief you can tilt and rotate. Slope angle at 5 m resolution, ski touring, snowshoe and hiking trails, wildlife and herd protection zones. Areas can be downloaded for the trip. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS The emergency location screen shows your position in decimal degrees, degrees/minutes and UTM, with elevation, fix accuracy and the nearest named terrain feature – offline too. The emergency number follows the area you are in. topo^alpin dials through the phone app and transmits no data to a control room itself. CHECK THE MATHS Method papers are published for avalanche terrain, the Tour-Check and the weather: every step from model to number, with sources and every constant we set. If you do not trust the colour on the map, you can recalculate it. topo^alpin is a decision aid, not a clearance. It shows where a closer look belongs. It replaces neither alpine experience nor the judgement you make on the spot.

SummitList is a peak-bagging tracker for hikers chasing lists. Build the challenges that matter to you, log every summit with the story of the day, and watch your elevation and progress add up. No account, no tracking. Everything lives on your device and in your private iCloud, and syncs across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. PEAK LISTS, YOURS TO BUILD Start with the Adirondack 46 High Peaks, ready to go, or build your own list from any peaks you want to chase. Every list shows a completion ring, peaks bagged, and how many you have left. LOG EVERY SUMMIT Record each climb with the date, route, conditions, elevation gained, distance, who came along, and a photo from the top. Your summit log becomes a trip journal you will actually reread. ELEVATION AND RECORDS See your total elevation gained, a month by month climb chart, your highest summit, biggest day, distance hiked, and your active month streak. Every number comes from your own logs. THE NEXT OBJECTIVE Mark the peak you want next as a planned objective, set a target date, and turn on a reminder the day before. Your next climb sits on the home screen with a countdown. LIST COMPLETION PROGRESS Rings and bars track how far you are through every challenge, from your first summit to a finished list. ON EVERY SCREEN YOU OWN SummitList syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud. The iPad and Mac layouts put your lists beside the detail, a proper board for a peak-bagging season.
