The weekend before (August 14 to 16) I was on a nice hiking tour with some colleagues. The weather couldn't have been better, it was sunny all the time.
Though if it's been raining recently you can probably see further.

The area (Kleinwalsertal in Austria, Mindelheimer Hütte etc, see the map) was already fairly well mapped. All the hiking trails we took were already there, though a gravel track that is used by a resident of a remote house was mapped as a footway.
And as always, there's still room for improvement. For example, along the way, two houses where you can get snacks and drinks were not mapped. They were originally used for keeping cows but nowadays they're mostly used to feed tourists. ;-)
Also, the forests were often wrong as it is hard to differentiate them from bushland or northern sides of mountains in the Landsat images.

One thing that made me think is this: Some peaks are very hard to reach. We went to the Liechelkopf (so now you find it in OSM) which was quite exhausting but still possible without climbing equipment.
If we need somebody to go to every mountain and take the coordinate so he can put it into OSM, it will take years and years until we will have comprehensive data of alpine mountains. Or maybe it will never happen if we don't have enough climbers in our community.
I wonder if there isn't a directory of alpine mountains that we can use. Maybe from some official bodies of the countries in question?
Else, as I said, we won't be able to provide good maps of alpine regions for quite some time and that would be a bummer.
