Matterhorn-Mischabel 5006

Matterhorn – Mischabel area, map No. 5006, in the standard topographic survey of Switzerland at 1:50,000 from Swisstopo, i.e. without the special overprint highlighting walking trails, local bus stops, etc, presented in Swisstopo’s hiking editions of the 50K survey. The map covers the whole of the Mattertal and Saastal valleys with Zermatt, Randa, St. Niklaus and Saas Fee, as well as Monte Rosa, the Theodul Pass and the Monte Moro Pass. Coverage extends westwards to Evolène and Mont Collon.

Highly regarded for their superb use of graphic relief and hill shading, the maps give an almost 3-D picture of Switzerland’s mountainous terrain. Contours are at 20m intervals. All the maps have a 1-km grid with the Swiss national coordinates.
