The federal geoportal map.geo.admin.ch offers a wide range of datasets for specialists, teachers, media professionals and interested amateurs. Clients have access to digital maps, images, vector data and online services. The geology-related datasets are grouped under the «Topic Geology» and can also be accessed directly at map.geologieportal.ch.

swissgeol.ch is the new 3D subsurface data viewer. The web application places geological models in a geographical context and allows data from various topics and sources to be combined. Public boreholes with layer information, the temperature model of the Molasse Plateau, profile sections and earthquake locations can be visualised in three-dimensional form or reproduced and processed according to one's own interests.

Which is more likely to happen for the coming Easter: hiding the Easter bunnies in the snow on the last ski tour or opening the hiking season with Easter eggs for the summit picnic? 

swissgeol.ch may not be able to predict the weather, but thanks to the search mask you can easily load maps and use them in 3D when planning your extended weekend. 

Do you need a topografic profile for ...

swissgeol.ch shortlisted for "Best of Swiss Web Award"! 
With the 3D subsurface viewer swissgeol.ch swisstopo and camptocamp applied for the "Best of Swiss Web Award" in the categories "Public affairs", "Innovation" and "Technology".
First round done! Looking forward to the next one.

Afraid of climbing steep ridges and high mountains like shown here ? Climb it virtually, using swissgeol.ch!

And you even check which rock you are climbing… :-)

« s'Chileli vo Wasse » (Wassen church) located right between road (blue), railway (red) and water tunnel (light blue) in the Centre of Switzerland, close to the Gotthard Base Tunnel, the world’s longest railway tunnel in operation.

Discover the tunnel network in the subsurface of Switzerland here.

Do you need to mark and annotate locations in 3D, like POIs, outcrops, project perimeters etc?

The 3D open source viewer for subsurface data swissgeol.ch offers now extended slicing capabilities. Besides drillhole and cross-section slicing, we recently added interactive box slicing that allows to interrogate all the available data sets. More features to come, as inclined slicing planes, inverted slicing or slicing based on non-rectangular geometries.

Controlled rise, tilt and turn in the camera configuration panel for a navigation performance as if you are sitting in a helicopter flying through the Alps. Move the camera icon on the new height slider on the right edge downwards and feel like you were Felix Baumgartner just continuing his jump below ground level. 

swissgeol.ch is now viewer.swissgeol.ch, and it looks different …
Have a look at the new design of the Swiss sub-surface viewer and explore 3D data and new functionallity!

Summer is coming! Temperatures are rising more and more. Need to cool down?

Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for take-off! Discover the keyboard navigation (lower right hand side) and enjoy your personal fly-through of Switzerland’s subsurface.
 
All you need is to practice and a screen-cast software. Enjoy your flight!

Visualize and download selected 3D geological data, e.g. horizons, faults, etc., from swissgeol.ch, the 3D open source viewer for subsurface data.

Either define a rectangle in the toolbox and download your "personalized" dataset or download the nationwide data sets through the tooltip or layer info.

As of today, the 3D open source viewer for subsurface data swissgeol.ch offers 870 geological cross-sections for spatial visualization and download.

For the first time, all geological cross-sections of the Geological Atlas of Switzerland 1:25'000 (GA25) have been published nationwide in three dimensions (as images).

Recent earthquakes (last 90 days), such as the one which occurred on Monday 15th 2021 are now visible on swissgeol.ch.
