A field atlas of the world's mountains

Every summit,
in three dimensions.

Real relief in 3D, the weather at the top and the 0 °C line month by month, huts, lifts and trails — for 1,500 mountains, from volcanoes to the eight-thousanders.

Real cross-sections, west to east, all at the same scale (heights exaggerated so they fit). Touch a summit to open it.

In three dimensions

The great ones, up close

Every guide opens with the mountain drawn from its real relief and a cloud-free satellite image — and you can turn it around in 3D.

Rankings

Best for skiing, best for climbing

Two scores out of 10 for every mountain, made only from open data — and every part of them is on the mountain's page.

How we know

Built on open data

Every number on Peakyas comes from a public, citable dataset — the same ones scientists and mapmakers use. Nothing is invented, and nothing is a forecast.
