Andermatt area at 1:33, 333 on light, waterproof & tear-resistant map No. 3314T published by Swisstopo in cooperation with the Swiss Hiking Federation. Cartography is the same as in Swisstopo’s 50K hiking maps, simply enlarged to 1:33, 333 for extra clarity but without additional information. 1:33, 333 editions of Swisstopo’s hiking maps have cartography identical to the standard version of the country’s 1:50, 000 topographic survey, highly regarded for its superb use of graphic relief & hill shading to provide an almost 3-D picture of Switzerland`s mountainous terrain. Contours are at 20m intervals. An overprint highlights routes maintained by the SHF, distinguishing between hiking routes, mountain routes requiring proper footwear, & alpine routes where equipment is needed. Paths which are part of the national or regional network of long-distance hiking routes are specially marked & in the more recent editions are annotated with their official numbers. The maps show mountain huts, refuges & in remote areas also inns, plus roads with bus service & the positions of bus stops. All the maps have a 1-km grid of the Swiss national coordinates.

Stretching for over 5, 500 miles, & containing the highest active volcanoes in the world, the largest salt flat, the highest lake, & peaks rivalled in size only by the Himalayas, the Andes impress by statistics alone. But beyond the range`s sheer immensity, is its concentration of radically contrasting scenery & climates. In this remarkable book, travel writer Michael Jacobs journeys across seven different countries, from the balmy Caribbean to the inhospitable islands of the Tierra del Fuego, through the relics of ancient civilisations, to retrace the footsteps of previous travellers. His route begins in Venezuela, following the path of the great 19th Century revolutionary Simon Bolivar.
