Use OGC Services
The WMS/WFS Flow service offered by CH-OSM provides direct access to vector data layers under QGIS or any other OGC service client environment. These services are referenced in an Isogeo catalogue, offering a single point of contact, a search interface and metadata consultation. OGC services are available at the following URL:
WMS 1.3.0:
https://ch-osm-services.geodatasolutions.ch/geoserver/ows?service=wms&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities&srsName=EPSG:2056
