SwissTopo Maps Now Available

Similar to USGS Topo maps, SwissTopo provides beautiful handmade cartography and fine detail. These maps of Switzerland are perfect for hiking, skiing, and planning trips in the Alps.

SwissTopo features heavy elevation shading and contour lines, and emphasizes peak and range names that display prominently.

Add the source from the More Layers menu under the GaiaPro Base Maps category. For detailed instructions, check out the Add Map Sources articles (iOS/Android/Web).

Unlike the USGS, SwissTopo requires license fees for these maps, so we have included them as part of a GaiaPro subscription.
