Generalized administrative boundaries G1

The «Generalized administrative boundaries G1» dataset from the Federal Statistical Office provides simplified geometries for all Swiss administrative units since 1850 and is updated annually. This dataset is well suited for the production of a wide range of thematic maps at smaller scales (approximately 1:250’000 to 1:500’000), enabling the visualization of statistical data for municipalities, districts, and cantons. Geographic attributes, including area and altitude, further enrich the dataset.
