Visit Switzerland

How did mapping Switzerland work long before GPS — and how was the famous Dufour map created? Daniel scales alpine peaks and goes deep into historic archives to uncover just how Switzerland’s most famous map was made. A huge thank you to Swisstopo for their hospitality – for opening their doors and archives and helping Daniel learn about the history behind the mapping of Switzerland.
