3D print the Matterhorn and the Matterhorn Glacier Trail
The Matterhorn on one print, with the Matterhorn Glacier Trail raised in orange on the terrain. Open it in the generator, change the size or colors, and export a slicer-ready 3MF.
Matterhorn Glacier Trail
- Side
- Swiss, above Zermatt
- Nearby
- Schwarzsee (2,600 m), Hörnli Hut (3,260 m)
- On the print
- 6.3 km, as mapped in OpenStreetMap
4,478 m of mountain, 36 mm on your shelf
The print covers 12 by 12 km. On a 160 mm print the summit stands 36 mm above the valleys.
- True scale
The print opens at true scale: the mountain is as tall as it really is for the print size. Raise the Elevation multiplier for a more dramatic model.
- The trail
The Matterhorn Glacier Trail prints as a raised 1.2 mm orange line, drawn from its OpenStreetMap route. Give it its own filament color, or turn it off on the GPX tab.
- Colors
Forest, meadow, bare rock, ice and water each get their own color where the land has them, so a multi-color printer shows where the trees give way to rock.
About Matterhorn
The Matterhorn is a large, near-symmetric pyramidal peak on the border between Switzerland and Italy, with its summit 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) above sea level. It has become an emblem of Switzerland and of the Alps as a whole.
Its four steep faces are split by the Hörnli, Furggen, Zmutt and Lion ridges. Edward Whymper's party made the first ascent on 14 July 1865 by the Hörnli ridge, still the normal route today.
The Matterhorn Glacier Trail
The Matterhorn Glacier Trail is a marked hike on the Swiss side of the mountain, mapped in OpenStreetMap as a route of about 6 km.
Close by, Schwarzsee (2,600 m) is where hikers set off for the Hörnli Hut (3,260 m), the start of the normal route up the Hörnli ridge.

Common questions
Is the Matterhorn 3D print free?
Yes. The generator runs in your browser and exports a 3MF file you can open in any common slicer. There is no account or payment.
Is the Matterhorn Glacier Trail on the print?
Yes. Print this mountain adds it from its OpenStreetMap route (6.3 km as mapped) and raises it on the terrain. The footprint is 12 by 12 km, centered on the summit and wide enough for all of it.
Is the mountain printed at its true height?
Yes, it starts at true scale, about 36 mm of relief on a 160 mm print. Raise the Elevation multiplier for a more dramatic model.
Can I get an STL instead of a 3MF?
The generator exports 3MF, which keeps each color as its own part. Any slicer can open it and save an STL if you need one.
