Territorial limit NS

The “Territorial limit NS” data set contains the national border that delimits the territory of the Swiss Confederation from neighboring countries and is managed by the national survey. It also forms the outer boundary of cantons, districts, municipalities, and properties located on the edge of the country. The national border must be represented in official surveying products and is therefore made available via a service.
