Swiss Maps Are Full of Hidden Secrets
https://map.geo.admin.ch/
Herewith the map site.
I have to admit, the maps (at any zoom levels) are quite beautiful. Much much better than the likes of Apple or Google!

Help an American plan properly for vacation in the Swiss Alps. I'm going in July with my wife, we are not going to do any steep technical climbing but walking around on glaciers and hiking a lot of distance. I'm from the PNW and I think the snow/terrain is a lot different here. Scroll 👉
https://map.geo.admin.ch/ and the Swisstopo app. Great map quality and the app works fine on the go, even without mobile data. All free.
If you can understand any French or German, get ahold of one of the CAS guides - tons of good info. Check the CAS website for ideas and also https://map.schweizmobil.ch/?lang=en (or https://map.geo.admin.ch/) for hikes/scrambles/approaches (look for the red and blue=class 4 lines). This is the world's most meticulously mapped country (Swisstopo does amazing work)... I could spend hours just looking at the maps.

Free source of historical weather data for Switzerland
You have some data on https://map.geo.admin.ch/ regarding the weather / sun time / pollen / etc. but I'm not sure you can access much historical data. But Most likely they have it somewhere as an API...there is also https://www.geocat.ch/ which can help find data on geo.admin.ch.

OpenStreetMap proven to be a highly accurate map in top US cities
In my country, there is an amazing government mandated service called Swiss Topo (https://map.geo.admin.ch), which can be accessed freely. Here are some features:
- detailed maps from 1:10,000 to 1:1,000,000
- hiking routes which are actively maintained. You can create your own hiking routes, and it will estimate the time that it will take to complete them.
- historical data, like historical maps since 1864 and aerial photos
- aeronautical maps, naval charts, geological maps, ...
- basically any kind of data that you can find on maps, such as land registery, water planning, spatial planning, etc.
I am not sure if other countries provide this level of service free of charge. I would be curious to see what other countries offer on this topic.
