Matterhorn & Zermatt 3D terrain model

Valais, Switzerland

3D terrain model of Matterhorn & Zermatt with satellite imagery

About this model

The Matterhorn (4,478 m) rises above the car-free village of Zermatt, its four steep faces turned almost to the points of the compass, with glaciers and the ski slopes that run over to Italy around it. The elevation data reads the sharp summit a little low.

The frame is 12 km across, centred on 46.0000° N, 7.7040° E. Open it in the editor to change the style, exaggerate the height, turn it into a circle, or move the frame — then download it for your 3D printer, as a poster or as a 360° video.

Measured on the same elevation grid as the model (Terrain Tiles, AWS Open Data). Summit heights can read a little lower than surveyed ones because each sample averages a small area.
