This is based on a change in federal law that happened on 1 March 2021.One of the (IMHO) most interesting datasets is the extremely detailed digital elevation model / DSM (swissSURFACE3D): https://www.swisstopo.admin.ch/en/height-model-swisssurface3... Lidar scanned terrain model, with a grid size of 0.5m and vertical resolution of ~10cm. Available as a tiled raster or the "raw" classified point cloud (ground, vegetation, water, ...). Raster: https://www.swisstopo.admin.ch/en/height-model-swisssurface3... Point Cloud: https://www.swisstopo.admin.ch/en/height-model-swisssurface3... Demo (Shaded Relief based on that surface model. Those stair step patterns are not artifacts, but the natural terracing of vineyards): https://map.geo.admin.ch/?lang=en&topic=ech&bgLayer=ch.swiss... |
