Switzerland Wall Map or Poster

Hello to Our Rick Steves' Travel Forum Members:

I am looking to buy a "somewhat large" wall map or poster for Switzerland. I have visited Switzerland 15-20 times in recent years and would like to have a wall map for referral in my office, etc. at home. I am seeking a wall map similar to ones I have observed in various train stations/hotels/tourist info offices all across the country, to include both political divisions between the 26 cantons and/or the major train routes and related matters.

I have initially checked what is available online via Amazon and via the SBB website and will continue to explore other online options as well.

Additional Comment: ** As a reference point, see the overall map of Switzerland following the Table of Contents/prior to the pictures at the beginning in the published Ninth Edition of the Rick Steves Switzerland Guidebook. What I am searching for is a large wall map or poster version of this map or similar, if it exists. Any and all feedback is welcome. Thanks.

However, it would be helpful to view a few recommendations from other travelers who have purchases such a wall map for their home or office decor. Perhaps someone else has been down this path and would suggest 3-5 of the top Switzerland wall map choices that are available today in 2023.

I look forward to hearing back from others in the coming dates.

Thanks

Dale

SwissTopo (the Swiss national mapping service) sells a few nice maps:

https://shop.swisstopo.admin.ch/en/maps/national-maps

You can buy them folded or unfolded, in different sizes.

Trafimage, the mapping service of the Swiss Railways has a few nice maps to, but only as downloads:

You could maybe download one, and have it printed at a printshop.

(The online trafimage map is quite handy btw:

You can zoom in and see the layout of railways stations, where bus stops are in relation the station etc...)
