About the map
The Matterhorn sits centrally within the map, allowing its distinctive pyramid-like summit, steep ridges, dramatic faces, and surrounding alpine terrain to be displayed in fine detail.
The 3D map itself measures approximately 15 x 15cm.
The frame is a high-quality wooden frame.
Why the Matterhorn?
The Matterhorn is one of the most iconic mountains in the world. Its sharp summit profile, steep drop-offs, and dramatic alpine setting make it especially well suited to 3D relief casting.
This piece makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves the Matterhorn, Switzerland, the Alps, mountaineering, climbing, skiing, alpine landscapes, or the outdoors. It is also a distinctive keepsake for anyone with a personal connection to Zermatt, Cervinia, or the surrounding mountain region.
How it’s made
Each map begins with accurate mapping data, which is processed using modern 3D terrain modelling techniques. From this, an original pattern is produced and a mould is made.
The maps are then cast by hand using a process known as cold casting, where resin is mixed with real metal powders to create a genuine metal-effect surface. Each casting is given an aged patina, polished by hand, mounted, framed, and carefully packed.
Finish options
Available in Bronze, Copper, and Silver finishes. Select at checkout.
Personalisation included
The engraved wooden title plate can be personalised at no extra cost.
By default, the plaque reads:
Matterhorn
4,478m
For the personalised option, your chosen wording will replace the pictured Matterhorn title and height text. This makes the piece ideal as a gift, expedition keepsake, climbing memento, ski trip memory, retirement present, birthday gift, or special personalised display piece.
