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?

lol so no list then. Alrighty. For anyone else coming here, don’t use caltopo. This person is most likely working for them. Unable to give a list of reasons why you should use the application, blocks people who ask why, and thinks that free apps that need no login are worse.
