API
- The MeteoSwiss climate normals data are now available for download in the data collection ch.meteoschweiz.ogd-climate-normals-grid also in COG TIFF format. With this step, the previous data collections will soon be taken out of service. For details, see End-of-life
- The MeteoSwiss hail hazard data are now available for download in the data collection ch.meteoschweiz.ogd-radar-derived-grid also in COG TIFF format. With this step, the previous data collections will soon be taken out of service. For details, see End-of-life
- The ch.bazl.luftfahrthindernis layer group contains a significantly increased number of objects from now on. Poles and individual segments of high-voltage transmission lines are now available in the dataset.
- The layer ch.swisstopo.geologie-geocover will be replaced by 6 new layers in course of an upcoming new data product swissGEOCOVER2D later in 2026. Details to follow soon.
- 14 layers from swisstopo's Swiss Geological Survey will be decommissioned later in 2026. For details, see End-of-life
- For some layers, the
LegendURLreturned in the WMS GetCapabilities response now points to the official legend image hosted on api3.geo.admin.ch instead of the WMS GetLegendGraphic URL. The GetLegendGraphic request itself remains unchanged. - Full changelog
