Swiss paper maps are beautiful, intricately detailed pieces of art. You can purchase waterproof, tear-resistant mapping online, as well as download files, from the Federal Office of Topography, otherwise known as Swiss Topo. As with Harvey’s Maps in the UK, the hiking scale is generally considered to be 1:33,000, although 1:50,000 is recommended if you are completing the full trail to minimise the number of maps you need to carry.

If opting for the Swiss Topo 1:50,000 maps, you would need the following sheets to cover the full route:

 Stage 1: 215T Baden

 Stage 2: 214T Liestal (only a small part of this map is used)

 Stages 2 and 3: 224T Olten

 Stages 4 and 5: 223T Delémont

 Stage 5: 233T Solothurn (only a small part of this map is used)

 Stages 6, 7 and 8: 232T Vallon de Saint-Imier

 Stages 8, 9 and 10: 241T Val de Travers

 Stages 10, 11 and 12: 251T La Sarraz

 Stages 12, 13 and 14: 260T Saint-Cergue

Alternatively, Kümmerly and Frey cover the Jura Crest Trail at 1:60,000 on sheets 3 (Jura), 4 (Basel), 5 (Aargau), 8 (Neuchâtel), 15 (Lausanne – Vallée de Joux) and a small part of sheet 21 (Geneva). They also cover the first third of the trail at 1:50,000 on sheets 9 (Baselland), 10 (Aargau) and Jura (15).
