I live in Switzerland and until proven otherwise, I think we have the best cartography in the world. map.geo.admin.ch and the Swisstopo app are absolute treasures to plan hikes.

At the moment I am trying to plan a hike in France where I cannot use the swiss map. I have tried several layers of Openstreetmaps but I don't find any that seem as good to show the relief, the walking paths, public transport stops and type of terrain.

What is your go-to cartography option?

CoTrex for Colorado is essentially all you could ever ask for in a map software. You can make any arbitrary route, even one across a mountain with no paths, easy to share exact coordinates, easy to see what paths can be used for, easy to see topo. Etc
