Sign the summit.

CHF 5 CHF 2 (launch price), once. No subscription, no ads.

There’s a book on every summit

On most summits there is a book in a metal box. You write your name, the date, a line about the weather, the conditions or your knees, and read who was up before you.

Summitry is that book. One register per peak, pass and hut, and at the same time a logbook of your own, for building your personal collection of summits.

Three kinds of entry

Verified

You stand on the summit while you sign, and GPS confirms your position.

No internet on top? The signature waits on your phone and lands in the register when you are back down.

Tracked

A GPS track from Strava or a GPX file is matched automatically to the summits it crossed.

Claimed

A summit from before the app, or from a day the phone stayed in the pack, can be added by hand so your statistics are complete. These entries are not shown in the public register.

Everything you’ve climbed, in one place

Peaks, passes and huts, sorted by year, with your personal notes, photos and companions. Plus statistics, a map of every entry in your logbook, and lists that fill in with each entry.

Lists

The 4000ers, the highpoint of every canton, hut lists. Follow a list and work your way through it.

Offline

Signing needs only the phone’s GPS. Summits and maps can be downloaded, so the book works where the signal doesn’t.

Climb together

Note who was with you. Follow friends, read their entries and compare the summits you’ve reached.

Export

Any entry becomes a poster with the real skyline of its summit, and a year becomes a PDF of your logbook.

Questions

What is a summit book?

A book kept on a summit, usually in a metal box by the cross. Whoever gets to the top signs it with a name, the date and a few words, and reads who was up before them.

What is the Summitry app?

A digital summit book for 135 000 peaks, passes and huts across the Alps. You sign on top, read what others wrote, and keep your own logbook along the way, with statistics, lists and a map.

Does it work without reception?

Yes. Signing needs only the phone’s GPS. The entry waits on the phone and lands in the register when you are back down. Summits and maps can be downloaded per region or country.

What counts as verified?

The phone’s position within 50 m of the summit at the moment of signing. A tracked entry comes from a GPS track; a claimed one is entered by hand, without GPS confirmation.

Which mountains are in it?

135 000 peaks, passes and huts in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, Italy, France and Slovenia: the whole of the Alps, from the national surveys and OpenStreetMap.

Why isn’t it free?

Summitry has no subscriptions and no ads. It still needs servers for the registers, a catalogue of 135 000 summits kept up to date, maps you can download, and someone to look after it all. Your one-time purchase pays for that, and I’m thankful for every single one.
