The geodata can be obtained directly from the corresponding federal office. The metadata are provided free of charge by geocat, Switzerland’s geographic metadata catalog. The download of geodata is free of charge with certain restrictions (cf. terms of use).
The Mapviewer from geo.admin.ch allows geodata to be viewed. It is an intuitive application for searching, displaying and using geographic information. The desired data are available as digital maps and photos, vector data and also as online services.
Users can customize many map parameters such as the map section and image size as well as the type of information displayed and the cartographic background.
