Topographic Map of Interlaken
Bernese Oberland, Switzerland · 46.6863° N · 7.8632° E
Interlaken lies on the flat alluvial strip between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, with the Bernese Oberland rising immediately to the south. The name says it — a town literally between lakes, wedged under some of the highest relief in the Alps.
The terrain around Interlaken
The Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau wall the horizon south of the town, the Jungfrau topping 4,158 m. Harder Kulm and the Bernese pre-alpine ridges press in from the north. On the map two flat lake surfaces bracket a narrow plain, and the contours explode into density the moment the ground starts to climb.
How this map was made
Every contour line traces a constant elevation drawn from public SRTM 30 m radar data, extracted with a marching-squares algorithm at a 100 m interval and coloured by height — cool blues in the valley climbing to warm reds on the summits. The satellite base layer and the contours share the same Web Mercator projection, so the lines fall exactly on the ground they describe.
