Least-cost path
tr_least_cost_path
What it does
The fastest route for a mobility class through start, optional vias and end, with up to three alternates, travel time and an optional least-cost corridor.
Like Cost Distance + Optimal Path As Line / Least Cost Path (Spatial Analyst) in ArcGIS Pro and Least Cost Path plugin / GRASS r.cost + r.drain in QGIS. Run by the product's terrain engine on 30 m cells from Copernicus DEM GLO-30 (full resolution): 740 x 930 = 688,200 cells; no model was called.

Least-cost path along the longest axis
Best dismounted route: 32.55 km in about 413 min (ascent 664 m, 1% restricted); 0 alternate(s).

Least-cost path between the two highest summits
Best dismounted route: 9.35 km in about 170 min (ascent 391 m, 15% restricted); 0 alternate(s).
