map.geo.admin.ch
Digital data can be viewed, printed out, ordered and supplied by means of the map viewer tool. The required data is available in the form of digital maps and photos, vector data and also as online services. The desired data is available in the form of pixel maps, digital images, vector data etc., at a variety of scales.
