3D model of the Eiger — the famous North Face

Eiger — Switzerland
Photo of the summit: Eiger, 3 967 m

The Eiger (3,967 m) stands in the Bernese Alps above Grindelwald, next to the Mönch and the Jungfrau. Its North Face, nearly 1,800 m high, is one of the most famous and dangerous walls of the Alps; it was first climbed in 1938.

For Switzerland we use 2 m lidar elevations, so a model of about 5×5 km clearly shows the face itself, the Mittellegi ridge and the west flank climbers descend by. Rocky sides make the wall even more dramatic.

A gift for a rock climber or alpinist — with a figure on the steepest face, which the generator finds automatically. For Alps fans, it pairs well with a Matterhorn model.

How to make the model

  1. Press the button — the mountain builder opens with this summit.
  2. Choose size, height, frame and sides; the instant preview shows the terrain from above.
  3. Generate the 3D model, spin it in the browser and order a print or download the file.

What you can adjust

  • plate size from 12 to 40 cm (large ones as gap-free tiles)
  • vertical exaggeration so slopes read more clearly
  • frame: rounded, straight or none
  • sides: sloped or rocky with ribs
  • figures: a person on the summit, a climber on the steepest face, a hut
  • colour satellite imagery on the surface

Models print without supports and are watertight. The photo illustrates the summit; the model is built from terrain data. Printed models are delivered within Ukraine only.
