About Us

Summit Scanner is an independent comparison platform dedicated to mountain expeditions and high-altitude trekking. We help you understand each mountain’s typical difficulty, duration and indicative cost range, and show which guiding companies operate on each peak.

Our mission is to make expedition planning transparent, simple and accessible. Instead of digging through dozens of separate websites, you can use Summit Scanner to see key information in one place, then decide which guiding companies to investigate further.

Summit Scanner does not run or sell expeditions. We:

• Provide overviews of major mountains and trekking routes worldwide.
• Show typical expedition duration and difficulty for each route.
• Display indicative lower and upper cost estimates per mountain to help you plan a realistic budget.
• List guiding companies that operate on each mountain so you can research them directly.
• Highlight a rotating Leader of the Week based on notable offerings.

• Transparency – Clear information about mountains and operators.
• Safety-minded – We focus on reputable, experienced guiding companies.
• Accessibility – Big mountains should be understandable, even for first-time trekkers.
• Independence – We do not set or display individual provider prices and we don’t run trips ourselves.

• First-time trekkers planning routes like Everest Base Camp or Kilimanjaro.
• Experienced climbers researching technical peaks or high-altitude projects.
• Travellers who want a quick way to compare mountains by height, duration or indicative cost range.
• Guiding companies who want clear, fair visibility on a focused platform.
