Valais Alps as a 3D Relief
Handmade in the Bavarian Alps.

The Valais Alps are home to the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa, both available from us as mountain reliefs. In addition, the Haute Route, Sierre-Zinal, Matterhorn Ultraks and other routes come as Track reliefs with a raised line, two of them also as a TrailMap for runners.

Valais Alps: from the Rhône Valley to the Aosta Valley

Between the Rhône Valley and the Aosta Valley stretch the Valais Alps, also called the Pennine Alps, a mountain group of the Western Alps. They are shared by the canton of Valais and the Italian regions of Piedmont and Aosta Valley; the group is bounded by the Simplon Pass and the Great St Bernard Pass. No other Alpine group is as heavily glaciated, and nowhere are there more 4000-meter peaks: there are 41, 36 of them around the Matter Valley.

Dufourspitze, Dom, Matterhorn and Weisshorn

The highest summit is the Dufourspitze in the Monte Rosa massif at 4,634 m, which is also the highest point in Switzerland. The Dom (4,546 m) is the highest mountain whose entire base lies in Switzerland. The Matterhorn (4,478 m) stands between Zermatt and Breuil-Cervinia and is a landmark of Switzerland. The first ascent was made on July 14, 1865, by a party of seven led by Edward Whymper; on the descent four of them fell to their deaths. The Weisshorn (4,505 m) has the shape of a pyramid of three sharp ridges.

Huts and routes in Valais

On the Signalkuppe in the Monte Rosa massif, at 4,554 m, stands the Capanna Regina Margherita, the highest staffed hut in the Alps. Below the Monte Rosa Hut (2,883 m) lies the Gorner Glacier, and at the foot of the Matterhorn stands the Hörnli Hut (3,260 m). The Haute Route leads through the Valais Alps from Chamonix to Zermatt and was first completed on skis in 1903. The Sierre-Zinal mountain race has been held since 1974, finishing in Zinal in the Val d’Anniviers. The Great St Bernard (2,469 m) is a pass that connects the Rhône Valley with the Aosta Valley.

The Valais Alps as a ready-made relief

Ready-made, there is the Matterhorn as a single-color Classic relief, plus a relief of the Monte Rosa traverse. With the route as a raised line we offer the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt and the Monte Rosa loop (Spaghetti Tour). Races from the 2026 season join them as Track reliefs: Sierre-Zinal, Verbier and Grand-Saint-Bernard, the Matterhorn Ultraks and the SwissPeaks Trail, which runs through the canton of Valais to Le Bouveret. The last two are also available as a flat map relief: TrailMap Matterhorn Ultraks and TrailMap SwissPeaks Trail.

Your own relief from Valais

If you want the Matter Valley, Saas Fee or the Val d’Anniviers as your own area, choose it in the live 3D configurator. Upload your high-alpine tour on Monte Rosa or your run from Sierre to Zinal as a GPX file, and the Track relief shows the route raised in the terrain. Oak or stone pine carries the finished model, built by hand in the Bavarian Alps.

Reliefs from Valais as gifts

The Matterhorn relief suits mountaineers as well as guests in Zermatt, the Haute Route anyone who has done it on foot or on skis, and the running reliefs finishers of Sierre-Zinal, Matterhorn Ultraks or SwissPeaks Trail. An engraving with a name or date makes the relief personal. The gift card leaves the choice of area open.

Which mountains of the Valais Alps are available as a 3D relief?

The Matterhorn is available as a single-color Relief Classic, Monte Rosa as a relief of the Monte Rosa traverse. With a raised route we offer the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt and the Monte Rosa loop, plus race courses such as Sierre-Zinal, Matterhorn Ultraks and SwissPeaks Trail.

Can I order Zermatt or Saas Fee as my own area?

Yes. In the live 3D configurator you search for Zermatt, Saas Fee or the Val d’Anniviers by name and move the area until it fits. The preview shows the relief from all sides before you order.

Can I import my Sierre-Zinal run from Strava?

Yes. For the custom Relief Track the link to your Strava activity is enough, as is a GPX file or a link from Komoot or Garmin. The course is modeled as a raised 3D line in red or white. An engraving in the wooden base can carry your finish time and date, up to three lines, on Base and Wall alike.

Is the Matterhorn also available in color with snow?

Yes, as Relief Natural. It colors the area true to nature in forest, meadow, rock, water and snow, and you set the snow line yourself. You also choose summer or winter mode, for example for a section of the Haute Route in winter.

More collections

Chamonix, the starting point of the Haute Route, is the valley town of the Mont Blanc massif; its reliefs are in the Mont Blanc Massif collection. The Bernese Alps with the Aletsch Glacier and the Lötschental, both also in the canton of Valais, are under Bernese Oberland. Race courses are gathered in Gifts for Trail Runners and TrailMap.
