Original Problem

Travelers struggle to plan multi-day hiking trips without reliable, consolidated route information

Hikers planning 2-3 day alpine treks waste hours aggregating fragmented information from multiple sources (guidebooks, forums, maps, weather sites) to create safe, feasible itineraries. Current solutions lack integrated trip planning that combines route difficulty, accommodation availability, weather forecasts, and real-time trail conditions in one place, forcing users to manually cross-reference dozens of sources and make risky decisions with incomplete data.
