Kurvli reads the geometry of every mountain road in the Alps and finds the ones that reward a good driver — then rates them like pistes, counts their hairpins, and gets you to the first corner.
The rating
Curvature scores mean nothing to a newcomer, so Kurvli borrows the language every mountain town speaks: ski-run difficulty. Every road gets a badge.
score 300–599
Relaxed and scenic. Sweeping bends, no drama — the warm-up valley road.
score 600–999
Properly engaging. Earns your attention and holds it for the whole climb.
score 1000+
Corner after corner after corner. A driver’s road, full stop.

The hand-picked icons — Susten, Klausen, Bernina, and their kind.
The portraits
No stock photography here. Each road’s portrait is its actual geometry, rendered as an alpenglow ribbon — the shape of the road is the artwork. These three are real, from real data:
Klausenpass · Uri / Glarus
The Tremola, San Gottardo · Ticino
Furkapass · Uri / Valais
The stat that matters is the hairpin count — corners in the tightest radius bucket, counted along every road and worn like a badge of honour. Say “101 hairpins” to anyone who knows, and they’ll know you mean the Tremola.
The drive
Not the fastest way — the best one. Ask for Zürich to Lugano and it will send you over the Gotthard’s cobbled Tremola, if you let it.
Tell it you have three hours from Andermatt. It hands back Susten–Furka–Grimsel — with honest driving times, closed passes excluded.
A follow-me map, a countdown to the next hairpin, and a haptic tick as you clip each one. Eyes on the road, always.
Scrub along any road’s elevation profile and feel every hairpin click past under your thumb.
Offline maps and saved roads, because the best corners have the worst coverage. The mountains don’t do 5G.
Every road renders a collectible card — ribbon, badge, hairpin count. Send the card; the road does the bragging. GPX export for the rest of your kit.
The ledger
Every number below comes out of the geometry — OpenStreetMap data run through curvature analysis, corner by corner.
Switzerland and Austria today. The Dolomites are next — the engine works anywhere OpenStreetMap does.
The beta
Kurvli is coming to the App Store. The beta opens on TestFlight first — dawn drivers welcome.
