Snow sports topics
The ski and snowshoe routes from swisstopo are available both as a service and for download as vector data. The same applies to winter accommodations and cableways/skilifts that operate in winter.
Snow sports topics for download
The ski and snowshoe routes are available for download as digital vector routes (GPKG files). The routes are represented as reliably as possible, checked by the cantonal hunting authorities with regard to wildlife compatibility, and updated annually.
The route data includes additional information such as route destination and name, difficulty, ascent and descent times, as well as altitude metres and a link to the route description in the SAC route portal.
The cableways and skilifts operating in winter are part of the national maps with snow sports theme and are also available for download as vector data. Within Switzerland, this is a selection of objects from the Topographic Landscape Model TLM.
Winter accommodations are open during the snow sports season, are located on existing snow sports routes or in the immediate vicinity, in valley locations for crossings or in starting or finishing locations of a tour that are difficult to reach. The vector data set contains additional information in the form of the name of the accommodation and a link to the accommodation in the SAC route portal.
The data sets are produced and annually updated in collaboration with the Swiss Alpine Club SAC. They are available in Geopackage (gpkg) format. Neither the Swiss Alpine Club SAC nor the Federal Office of Topography can accept liability for the accuracy, completeness or up-to-dateness of the route information.
