Alpine Route Template Library + Licensing to Guidebook Publishers

A curated, professionally-vetted digital library of 150+ complete, ready-to-publish 2-3 day hiking itineraries for the Alps, Dolomites, and Pyrenees. Each template includes: detailed route description with turn-by-turn directions, elevation profiles, accommodation options with booking links, weather contingency routes, gear checklists, permit info, and emergency protocols. Publishers (Lonely Planet, Cicerone, AllTrails, travel agencies) license these templates for $500-2000 per route per year, integrate them into their platforms or guidebooks, and rebrand them.

Publishers can white-label and monetize immediately.

Original Problem

Difficulty planning multi-day hiking trips in unfamiliar mountain regions without reliable, consolidated route information

Hikers planning 2-3 day treks in complex alpine terrain struggle to find trustworthy, detailed route suggestions that account for fitness level, weather conditions, accommodation availability, and logistics. Current solutions scatter information across multiple forums, guidebooks, and websites, forcing planners to spend hours cross-referencing data and making decisions with incomplete information about difficulty, safety, and feasibility.
