Stubaier Höhenweg poster framed in oak, hanging in a bright modern living room above a wooden sideboard

A print that won't disappear into the corner.

Thanks to the built-in border, the print fits a standard 50×70 or 70×100 cm frame perfectly, even your favourite Swedish one. Its rich contrast holds up in daylight, with no glare next to the window. The mountain did the work. Paper and colour just show it.

How it's made

From GPX file
to grain of paper.

GPS & geodata

From track to data

Everything starts with a GPS track. In QGIS I turn it into the data foundation: land cover, peaks and terrain from open geodata.

Terrain

From data to terrain

In Blender this becomes the 3D model. Every ridge and cirque is real geometry, not a flat satellite crop.

Material and light

My own material turns land cover into 3D surfaces. I choose the sun position and season to match the tour.

Down to the last detail

Every map is designed by hand. The terrain is real 3D geometry, brought flat onto paper, with an astronomically accurate sun position.

Hey, I'm Christian.

I'm a trail runner and designer. Out on the trail I count vertical metres, at my desk pixels. vertmaps brings the two together: maps full of loving detail that bring good memories back to life.

You've scrolled enough. Time to get outside!
