Patrouille des Glaciers course (A race)

The Patrouille des Glaciers (PDG) is an international military ski mountaineering race organised by the Swiss Armed Forces that is also open to civilian patrols. The course runs from Zermatt to Verbier (Z race) or from Arolla to Verbier (A race) and must be completed in one go. What makes this competition unique are the length of the route, the demands of the high-alpine terrain, the altitude and the profile of the route.
Sectoral Plan Military

The Sectoral Plan Military (SPM) is a planning and coordination tool belonging to the Federal Government within the meaning of Article 13 of the Swiss Spatial Planning Act (SPA, SR 700). It is used for ensuring territorial security and for reconciling military infrastructure and activities with civilian space requirements. It also helps to determine – in line with the current stationing concept – the binding goals and guidelines for the authorities with regard to the military infrastructures that are relevant to the sectoral plan. Due to the changes to security and military policy, the army's infrastructure requirements and territorial demands are subject to constant change. The SPM is therefore reviewed and adapted regularly. The SPM includes various object categories: military bases, shooting ranges, training grounds, military airfields, army logistics centres, recruitment centres, crossing points and special facilities. Smaller military infrastructures or those that are subject to the Swiss Federal Law on the Protection of Military Facilities (SR 510.518) are not shown in the SPM.

Deep geothermal energy in Switzerland

This map shows deep geothermal plants in operation as well as current and former deep geothermal projects in Switzerland. The project status corresponds to one of the following: – Prospection: Following regulatory approval by the canton(s) geophysical and geological studies are employed to identify a reservoir in the subsurface (permit zones shown, if available). – Under development: A reservoir has been identified and deemed suitable for producing geothermal energy. Permits required for the construction of a geothermal plant have been obtained and construction will begin shortly or is already in progress. – In operation: The plant is producing geothermal energy. – Abandoned: For any one of various reasons, the project has been stopped. Projects and plants are classified in the following types of system: Deep geothermal probe, Hydrothermal, Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) and High temperature aquifer thermal energy storage (HT-ATES). Shallow geothermal energy production (i.e., <500 m depth to reservoir) is not featured. The map does not purport to be complete.
Thermal waters

This dataset contains an overview of groundwater in Switzerland that have been heated by geothermal energy. The increased temperature of thermal groundwater results from the interaction with the surrounding rock as it circulates to greater depths in the earth's crust. The temperature of non-deep, non-thermal groundwater, on the other hand, is mainly influenced by the atmosphere and exhibits seasonal fluctuations over the course of a year. In this dataset, groundwater is considered to be thermal if the water temperature is constantly more than 5°C above the local average annual air temperature.
The dataset is subdivided into three main categories, which are based on the type of water discharge/inflow: 1) spring water, 2) tunnel water and 3) groundwater accessed by drilling. In the course of circulation through the geological subsurface, groundwater takes on a characteristic chemical signature through water-rock interactions. This signature is represented here by the chemical water type, degree of mineralization, pH and electrical conductivity. Some of the measured values may be subject to greater uncertainties as a result of contamination with technical waters (e.g. drilling fluids) and/or the atmosphere (e.g. gas exchange) or methodological causes. The significance and uncertainties of the individual attributes are explained in more detail in the object catalog.
The dataset does not claim to be complete. For information on the individual measured values, please contact the data provider.

SWISSIMAGE Background: The Digital Orthophotomosaic of Switzerland

The Orthophotomosaic SWISSIMAGE (Background) is a composition of digital color aerial images of Switzerland and surroundings. The orthophotos of the neighboring countries come from SPOT 5 satellite images (Airbus Defence and Space) taken in 2004 and 2005 with a ground resolution of 5 m. An orthophoto is an aerial image in which the distortions created by the camera and the relief are corrected. The layer is used as base map in the swiss federal geoportal. It is also available as WMS and WMTS geoservices. Once a year, a copy of the WMTS tile pyramid is made available for download in JPEG format and in the Web Mercator coordinate system (EPSG:3857) up to zoom level/tile matrix 18 (0.5 m resolution).
Hard rock aggregates: Thickness and quality of geological occurrences

Hard rock aggregates play a central role particularly for the construction and maintenance of the Swiss railway network (railway ballast) as well as of high-performance roads. For further information: <a href="https://rawmaterials.swissgeol.ch/de/hartstein" target="_blank">rawmaterials.swissgeol.ch</a>. This dataset (raster cell size: 50 x 50 m) shows an estimation of the spatial distribution, the usable thickness and the quality of the hard rock-bearing geological units situated at a ground elevation lower than 1300 m a.s.l. and with a thickness exceeding 30 m. The dataset has been produced based on geological profiles, stratigraphic descriptions and through an automated workflow applied to the swissGEOCOVER2D dataset. Explanatory notes regarding the geological units considered and their characteristics can be found in the <a href="https://api3.geo.admin.ch/featureattachments/ch.swisstopo.geologie-hartsteinvorkommen/pdf/Hard_rock_catalog_2024.pdf" target="_blank">Hard rock catalog</a>.

In case it is desired to develop a mining site, it is essential to conduct a detailed geological investigation on the location of interest.
Rock density

An important physical property of rock is its density, which depends mainly on mineralogy and porosity. Rocks made of minerals with a high content of magnesium, iron or other heavy metallic elements have a high density. In contrast, rocks that have a large proportion of alkalis (e.g. sodium, potassium) and silicon dioxide have a comparatively low density. Furthermore, rocks with a crystalline structure generally have a greater density than those with an amorphous (glassy) structure. Density is defined as mass per unit volume of a material [kg/m3]. While the so-called bulk density comprises the entire volume of a rock, the pure density (also called grain density) represents the volume without the empty spaces – i.e. without the porosity. Based on a database of density values, a bulk-density map of Switzerland was produced, which shows the mean value and other statistical data of all measured samples from each of the 21 lithological groups. Consequently, at no point does the density map show the expected absolute bulk density of a local rock type. Instead, it primarily shows the range in which the density of the local lithology varies. The data source, the data processing and the methodology used to produce the density map can be found in the publication by <a href="https://sjg.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s00015-021-00389-3" target="_blank">Alba Zappone & Edi Kissling (2021, Swiss J. Geosciences)</a>.
Geological Atlas GA25

The sheets of the Geological Atlas of Switzerland (GA25) give detailed information about the uppermost layers of the subsurface structure. Geological formations are represented by colours, conventional signs and symbols, which correspond to their age, composition and tectonic structure. For each sheet, an explanatory booklet is also published, in which the geological formations and special features of the study area are described. Over two thirds of the 220 map sheets that are planned have already been published.
GeoCover - Vector Datasets

The GeoCover Datasets V2 (standardized according to the Data Model Geology of Switzerland) is based on the map sheets of the Geological Atlas of Switzerland 1:25 000 and on compilations of the most recent high-quality geological maps that are available. The original versions (datasets not standardized), based solely on the GA25, are available as a complete dataset in the layer «Division geological atlas 25 Vector».
Geoid in ETRS89

Swiss geoid model in the version of 2004 (CHGeo2004) in the reference system ETRS89. It forms the zero reference surface (approximated mean sea level) for height determination and serves for the transformation between ellipsoidal heights and orthometric heights (LHN95). The geoid heights are stored in a regular 30 x 30 seconds grid and are interpolated by the biquadratic method. The model is available in various reference systems and data formats.
Cableways/skilifts winter

The cableways and skilifts operating in winter are part of the national maps with snow sports theme for Switzerland and adjacent parts of its neighbouring countries. The data set is produced in collaboration with the Swiss Alpine Club SAC and updated annually. Within Switzerland, this is a selection of objects from the Topographic Landscape Model TLM. 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 information. This layer is ideally used in conjunction with public transport stops.
Official directory of streets

Official dataset for “official directory of streets”, ID196, as per the catalogue of basic geodata in accordance with Swiss Federal Law. The official directory of streets includes all of the street names that have been officially declared in the Swiss Federal Register of Buildings and Dwellings (RBD). Responsibility for the completeness of the names in the official index of streets is governed by cantonal provisions.It is a collection that provides access to the building addresses of both Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
Official directory of building addresses

Official data set for “Official directory of building addresses”, ID197, as per the catalogue of basic geodata in accordance with Swiss Federal Law. The official directory of building addresses contains all the official addresses and is therefore binding for public authorities in Switzerland. All buildings have to present one or more specific addresses. Residential buildings, workplaces and buildings of general public interest must appear in the Official directory of building addresses. It is a collection that provides access to the building addresses of both Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
Sectoral plan for Asylum (SPA)

With the SPA, the Swiss State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) has ensured a rough plan for and basic coordination of federal government asylum centres. The SPA contains an overview of the government asylum centres across Switzerland and some basic principles for coordination with strategic goals and for cooperation between the relevant authorities. A sectoral plan entry forms the basis for planning approval for a project with significant repercussions for space and the environment.
Suitability of façades for the use of solar energy

The sun's energy that reaches the Earth's surface can be used, via two proven forms of solar technology – photovoltaics (electric current) and solar thermal energy (heat) – to generate renewable energy. Solar power has considerable potential: by 2050, around 20 per cent of the present demand for electricity could be generated using photovoltaics. Solar heat is an interesting option thanks to various types of standardised installation for warm water and heating support. The suitability map shows how well-suited individual façades are to using solar energy and what yield would be possible. To determine this, the course of the sun over the year is simulated and the solar radiation that reaches each façade calculated. The specified surface equals the entire surface of the façade and does not involve a reduction due to windows or similar. Radiation data from the Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology MeteoSchweiz and 3D building data from the Federal Office of Topography swisstopo (product swissBUILDINGS3D 2.0) was used in these calculations.
