I've always loved browsing through swisstopo's endless collection of fascinating maps. Today I actually needed an elevation map for a project and I am really surprised to not find one. elevation maps are pretty much one of the most basic map types, so am i just blind or does swisstopo really not have an elevation heatmap?

something like this:

  1. Basically all the maps have height represented under [contour lines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contour_line). Because that allows you to have better information. And this has been the standard since the Siegfried map in 1926, the Dufour maps before were using shading.

  2. MapPlus has one . [https://ch.mapplus.ch/?lang=en&basemap=leer&blop=1&x=2629139.212414403&y=1172719.9998384004&zl=1&hl=0&layers=reli_color_gb&op=0.6](https://ch.mapplus.ch/?lang=en&basemap=leer&blop=1&x=2629139.212414403&y=1172719.9998384004&zl=1&hl=0&layers=reli_color_gb&op=0.6)

    Hope that helps.

    Or you can make your own based on the digital elevation data. The simplest is DHM25/200m [https://www.swisstopo.admin.ch/de/hoehenmodell-dhm25-200m#DHM25-/-200m—Download](https://www.swisstopo.admin.ch/de/hoehenmodell-dhm25-200m#DHM25-/-200m—Download)
