WHO IT'S FOR
Few, but the right ones.
Above Col is for those who start in the dark, read a slope before climbing it, and know what "exposure" means. Alpinists, ski tourers, high-altitude trail runners.
If your typical day out ends at the hut for lunch: there are great apps for you. This isn't one.
EVERYTHING IN ONE APP
Eight tools, one mountain.
From planning to return: offline maps, AI, weather, avalanche and safety. Same app, same language — the mountain's.
Plan
PremiumBuild the route or let the AI generate it: level, time, weather. Refine and set off.
Record
SoonTrack the outing live — altitude, vertical, times — and export it as GPX at day's end.
AR peaks
SoonPoint your phone: peak names and altitudes in augmented reality. Coming at launch.
Avalanche
FreeAINEVA/EAWS bulletin by region, danger scale 1–5 and problem type. Before you climb.
SOS
FreeSOS button with SMS fallback and dead-man-switch. Always within reach, always free.
AI coach
PremiumAn assistant that knows your outing: altitude, exposure, nutrition. Answers with visible sources.
Weather
PremiumECMWF forecasts by altitude band, trend and worsening alerts. No surprises on the face.
THE ASSISTANT
Ask, before you set off.
An assistant that knows the route you picked: altitude, exposure, seasonality, forecast. Answers anchored to data, sources visible. It suggests; you decide.
HOW IT WORKS
Three moments, one outing.
01
Pre-trip briefing
Weather by altitude, time window, gear: all in context for the route you planned.
02
On the move
An essential screen, readable with gloves and in glare: altitude, remaining vertical, next waypoint, return cutoff time.
03
Automatic logbook
By day's end the outing is already filed: track, vertical, times. Your notes in three taps.
NAVIGATION
At 3,400 m there's no 5G. We know.
3D maps downloaded by valley or route, slope and exposure layers, waypoint-by-waypoint navigation and off-route alerts. All offline. Full stop.
SAFETY
SOS always free. Forever.
The SOS button is always within reach and always free. Safety isn't a paywall.
SOS
DEAD-MAN-SWITCH
If you don't come back, someone knows.
Arm the dead-man-switch when you set off: plan shared with your contact, live location, an automatic alert if you don't confirm your return. Disarm it when you're down. In between, it's got you.
All safety features are free. Forever. In writing.
CONDITIONS
Real conditions, from someone just back.
Condition reports pinned to the route — three taps at day's end, dated and signed. Coming after launch, fed by people who actually climb.
ROUTES
Three disciplines, real grades.
150+ verified routes across the Grigne, Ortles-Cevedale, Monte Rosa, Gran Paradiso and the Apennines at launch.
TRANSPARENCY
The price, before you ask.
To be definedindicative at launch
Above Col is a project in development: the price isn't set yet. The intent is clear — what's free at launch stays free, safety features will never cost a thing, and no feature will be moved behind a paywall after you've had it.
We're writing it down now, so you can hold us to it.
QUESTIONS
What you want to know.
When does the app launch?+
We're building Above Col now. Join the waitlist to be among the first at launch.
Which stores?+
iOS at launch. Android in the following months — waitlist members hear first.
How much does it cost?+
Above Col is a project in development: the price isn't defined yet and we'll publish it before launch. SOS and safety features will always be free.
Who is it for?+
Alpinists, ski tourers, high-altitude trail runners. If you're after an app for walks, there are great ones — this is a different thing.
Does the AI decide for me?+
No. The assistant works in planning, on data and visible sources. In the mountains you decide: no app replaces experience, terrain judgement or a guide.
How do you handle my data?+
Your email is only used to notify you about launch. No spam, one-click unsubscribe.
Which languages?+
Italian and English at launch.
Does it work offline?+
