Trail intelligence
Read the mountain before you set foot on it.
Mountiq fuses terrain, live conditions and your own measured pace into a single route brief — where to go, when to start, and the exact hour you have to turn back.

What it does
A mountain guide that fits in your pocket.
Not another map with pins on it. Mountiq reasons about the terrain the way an experienced partner would — and it does it before you leave the car park.
Route intelligence
Describe the day you want — six hours, a ridge, back before dark — and get routes matched to your fitness, the season and today’s conditions.
Conditions, fused per segment
Wind on the ridge, snowpack in the couloir, the stream crossing that is running high. Conditions are resolved for each part of the route, not for the whole mountain.
Offline topographic maps
The entire massif downloads before you go. Contours, trails, water, shelters and your live position — with the phone in airplane mode.
Terrain you can read
Gradient, exposure, scrambling grade and the sections where a fall matters, flagged on the elevation profile before you commit to them.
Turnaround discipline
A hard turnaround time, computed from your real pace and last light — then a nudge on your wrist when you reach it.
Someone always knows
Share the plan in one tap. Automatic check-ins, a live track for the person at home, and an alert if you stop moving.
How it works
Three steps. Then you just walk.
- 01
Describe the day
Plain language. “Saturday, seven hours, something exposed but not technical, back by seven.” Or pick a summit and let Mountiq find the way up.
- 02
Get the brief
One page: the route, the elevation profile with the hard parts marked, hour-by-hour conditions, the gear that matters and your turnaround time.
- 03
Walk it offline
Everything is on the phone before you lose signal. Navigation, conditions snapshot, check-ins and the plan you shared — all of it works dark.
Terrain intelligence
The profile tells you more than the distance ever will.
Two routes to the same summit can differ by four hours. Mountiq breaks every route into segments and tells you what each one asks of you — the sustained gradient, the exposure, the surface underfoot and the point where turning back stops being cheap.
Turnaround: 14:20
Based on your last eleven ascents, the forecast wind at 1 900 m and sunset at 17:41.

Safety
The mountain does not negotiate. The plan should.
Most incidents are not caused by bad climbers. They are caused by good ones running out of daylight, weather or margin. Mountiq is built around margin.
Live track
A private link for one person at home. No account needed to open it.
Auto check-in
A quiet ping at the summit and at the car. Silence triggers an alert.
Rescue card
Your coordinates, route and the local rescue number on one screen, offline.
Weather window
The hours the mountain is actually giving you, and the moment they close.
Pricing
Start free. Pay when the mountains get serious.
Every plan includes offline maps and the full safety layer. We do not put safety behind a paywall.

Questions
The things people ask first.
Does it really work with no signal?
Yes. Maps, the route brief, the conditions snapshot and navigation are all downloaded before you start. The only thing that needs signal is refreshing conditions and sending a check-in — and Mountiq queues those until you get a bar back.
Where does the terrain data come from?
Open topographic data, national mapping agencies and national weather services, combined with route data reviewed by local mountaineers. Every segment description is checked by a person before it ships.
Is this a replacement for a mountain guide?
No, and it never will be. Mountiq is a planning and awareness tool. On technical, glaciated or avalanche terrain, hire a guide. The app will tell you when that is the honest answer.
How accurate is the timing?
It learns from you. The first route uses a standard model; after three or four ascents the estimate is calibrated to your actual pace on ascent, descent and traverse, including how much you slow down after five hours.
Which mountains are covered?
At launch: the Romanian Carpathians in full — Făgăraș, Bucegi, Piatra Craiului, Retezat, Apuseni, Rodnei, Ciucaș — plus the Eastern and Western Alps. More ranges follow the beta.
What happens to my location data?
It stays yours. Tracks are private by default, live links expire when the trip ends, and nothing is sold or shared with advertisers. You can export or delete everything at any time.
The mountain is already there. Go prepared.
