Product description

Marmota Maps Map of the Alps with 1001 Mountains

The map displays 1001 of the primary mountains of the Alps. It lists the country, height, prominence and orometric dominance of each mountain. Additionaly 20 special hiking trails including a detailled altitude profile are shown.

Basic structure of the map

The backbone of the map consists of contour lines at intervals of 250 metres. Thus, the map looks vivid and nicely illustrates the topography of the Alps. Besides, in order to give reference points, it shows the important towns, roads, rivers and mountains, as well as the boundaries of the eight Alpine countries and their regions.

1001 Mountains of the Alps

This map depicts the most important mountains in the Alps.

Marmota Maps first selected the geographically most prominent mountains. All mountains in the Alps with a prominence of at least 500 metres are included, totalling 919 mountains and three height twins, including Montblanc, Matterhorn, Grossglockner, and Zugspitze. As the prominence describes a mountain in the context of its environment, these mountains are equally distributed throughout the Alps.

The impression of the mountains is determined by not only the geography but also the shape, the rock, and the available view of the mountain. Therefore, they included 79 special mountains of the Alps, which, despite lower prominence, shape our impression of the Alps and the mountains in it. A few examples are Eiger, Grosser Mythen, and High Weisse. The selection of these mountains is partly subjective, but they have made sure that the whole Alpine region is equally represented. The team of Marmota Maps has taken the liberty to add some landmarks that are not separate mountains in common geographical definition, but that nevertheless characterize the Alps because of their distinctive shape.

20 special trails

Completing the map are 20 special trails in the Alps:

Alpe-Adria-Trail, Austria Skyline Trail, Bärentrek, Dolomiten Höhenweg Nr. 9, Fernwanderweg E1, Fernwanderweg E5, Gesäuser Hüttenrundwanderweg, Giro del Monviso, GR 54 -Tour des Ecrins et de L'oisans, Jakobsweg, Ostallgäuer Höhenweg, Schladminger Tauern Höhenweg, Tour Des Glaciers, Tour du Mont Blanc, Tour Monte Rosa, Traumpfad: München - Venedig, Via Alpina - Roter Weg, Via Alpina - Violetter Weg, Walker's Haute Route and Walserweg Graubünden.

They have chosen popularity, regional distribution, and length as the main criteria to represent a diverse range of hiking trails. It's also included detailed elevation profiles for all 20 trails.

Our data

This map is also printable on other materials!

If you are looking for a particularly fancy way in showcasing your Marmota Map or print, we can also offer prints on other materials than paper.

Foamcore: If you want to put pins or similar markers onto your map, foamcore might be the perfect choice for you. A map on foamcore is stable, yet very light and durable. The foamcore map is created with UV direct printing, in high resolution and fine detail, onto a white, silk-mat surface. Underneath is a 5 millimeter thick PVC foam board. The foamcore panel is UV-stable, printed with eco-friendly UV ink and completely VOC-free. Additional surcharge to the product price:

  • 29.7 x 42 cm (A3) – from € 15.00 (5 mm)
  • 84 x 59.4 cm (A1) – from € 40.00 (5 mm)
  • 100 x 70 cm – from € 45.00 (5 mm)
  • 140 x 100 cm – from € 140.00 (5 mm)

Aluminium composite: Aluminium composite panels are UV-stable and weather-proof, which makes them perfect both for the use inside and outside. The UV direct print, in high resolution and fine detail, is put onto a silk-mat surface. The aluminium composite panel is made out of two 0.3 millimeter thick white aluminium coatings, which are put onto a core made from polyethylene plastic. Thus the aluminium composite weighs less than aluminium, but is still very bend-proof and stable. The panel is printed with eco-friendly UV ink and completely VOC-free. Additional surcharge to the product price:

  • 29.7 x 42 cm (A3) – from € 20.00 (3 mm)
  • 84 x 59.4 cm (A1) – from € 50.00 (3 mm)
  • 100 x 70 cm – from € 65.00 (3 mm)
  • 140 x 100 cm – from € 180.00 (3 mm)

Acrylic glass: A map behind acrylic glass is certainly an eye-catcher. The depth and spatial effect of the acrylic glass adds to the elegant look of the map, or print. The motive is printed in fine art high resolution onto a transparent, self-adhesive premium digital print-layer, which is positioned under the acrylic glass. The edges are high gloss polished. Acrylic glass is very robust, weather-proof and UV-stable. This makes acrylic panels suitable for the use outside. To clean the acrylic panel you simply need dishwashing liquid, a soft cloth and, if required, an antistatic synthetics cleaning spray. Additional surcharge to the product price:

  • 29.7 x 42 cm (A3) – from € 35.00 (3 mm)
  • 84 x 59.4 cm (A1) – from € 135.00 (6 mm)
  • 100 x 70 cm – from € 175.00 (8 mm)
  • 140 x 100 cm – from € 360.00 (8 mm)
