Here’s a brief orientation on the tools we offer to get oriented in the mountains:
● 3D Maps

With PeakVisor, you unlock the topo maps of the future; our cutting-edge technology with high-precision terrain modeling offers deep insight into the mountain landscape of your choice. With one glance, you be blessed with years of knowledge about an area’s terrain.
● Identify Peaks
Identify more than a million mountains, hills, buttes, spires, and more from all over the world, with a detailed profile for each of them! Our app shows you altitude, topographic prominence, mountain range, national parks or reserves, as well as photos and additional Wikipedia articles.
● Plan Hiking Routes
A vast network of worldwide hiking trails and walking pathways included in PeakVisor’s 3D Maps will help you compose a hiking route which includes evaluating the distance you can expect to hike as well as a route’s elevation profile and estimated time for completion.
● Skiing
In winter mountain sports, PeakVisor’s topographic 3D Maps allow a visual understanding of the terrain and provide detailed information about mountain lifts, ski resort trails, and backcountry ski touring routes. The app also offers features such as winter mode and a slope steepness overlay to identify avalanche terrain on your route.
● Cable Cars and Mountain Huts are inlaid onto our 3D Maps, complete with schedules. This is especially useful in Europe, where many objectives involve a cable car ride to gain some altitude, lest you want to do some genuinely punishing climbs. And you haven’t experienced the old-world mountain culture until you’ve had a memorable meal and night at a rustic mountain hut in the high country.
● Peak Bagging
The app offers monthly climbing challenges and Peak Bagging competitions to keep the motivation where it needs to be…UP.

You can even initiate a ‘Flyover,’ our visually stunning animations that give you a token video of your route to show family and friends or inspire some memories down the road.

Ratings and Reviews
Highly detailed topo maps with lots of useful info for great adventures
I started using PeakVisor on an iPhone 14 Pro during a hiking holiday based in Corvara in Badia. A few things I like about PeakVisor compared to other apps… Our local lift pass matched exactly with the 18 lifts that were shown very clearly using animation as open on PeakVisor. There are many closed lifts during the summer season so seeing which ones were open made planning our route very easy. The opening hours on the refugios… very helpful when you want food and drink near the end of a hike. It’s super fast , including rotating the 3D view. The suggested routes are really helpful. Importing my own routes. And the connection to Garmin… I cycled the Sella Ronda… the app effortlessly recorded the 4 main passes and lists all the hill peaks you have visited. Peak identification works really well, including the search. All the details in my profile including check-ins and categories like passes. Also bookmarks each categorised. Uploading photos. Hike recording. Lots more detailed functionality, but easy to access. What a fantastic app! I’m now back in Scotland, but it works just as good with local walks on much smaller hills.
What a fantastic app
I am a keen hillwalker in Scotland and this app has been amazing to use so far. In particular being able to import older photos and see what mountains are in the photos is just priceless.
Also, the developer is one of the most kind and courteous people I have ever contacted, he has responded to all my questions extremely quickly, than you Denis!
Work in progress
I think this is a fantastic concept it just doesn’t work in practice. It’s a bit glitchy - getting alignment with the hills for example. I’ve tried using this on the hills - and it’s tried to download the vicinity whilst on top of the mountain, another time I tried to navigate down a hill using the path show on the map - but it was difficult to get the map fixed in one place so I could follow it - it then drained my battery very quickly.
I like the idea of checking in. But overall I don’t see the value in paying for it in its current state. Maybe once it’s a bit more user friendly I’d be willing to try again.
