Swiss Topo’s latest maps are faster, offer more

Skating trails crisscross Switzerland, along with hiking, cycling, VTT and canoeing trails

BERN, SWITZERLAND – Swiss Topo, the government mapping service, has just released the latest version of its set of online Swiss maps, which are faster and more complete, with the entire range of scales now available, from 1 :25,000 to 1 : million, in English, French, Italian and German.

The maps are regularly updated, so the online maps, for an annual subscription of CHF49 the first year and CHF29 in subsequent years, don’t become outdated.

They include not only roads and geographic details but aerial images, historical maps, the official Swiss hiking trails and the Switzerland Mobility 20,000km interactive maps that allow you to plan and trace your route on the wealth of official bicycle, walking, VTT, skating and canoeing trails (normal price, CHF30/year). They also include POI, points of interest, such as youth hostels, Schweizer Familie lodging and Friends of Nature houses.
