Why are our topos ethical?
🏔️ Support for Route Developers & Local Committees
50% of revenues are given back to Local Committees (CT) and route developers who created and maintain the routes. Because without them, no climbing!
💰 Creator Remuneration
As the creator of the topo, you receive 50% of the revenues from the first 20 copies sold. The other half goes directly to the local committee/route developers of the site.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to create a topo?
It depends on the size of the site, but count between 2 to 10 hours for a complete topo. Most of the time is spent collecting and verifying information.
What do I earn concretely?
You receive 50% of the selling price (usually 10-15€) for each of the first 20 copies sold. That's potentially 100-150€ per topo created.
How can I be sure that route developers are compensated?
We work directly with local CTs and provide transparent reporting on sales and payments made.
