This service uses a variety of digital terrain models (DTM) and digital surface models (DSM) to provide global coverage up to 60N and accuracy of up to 1 metre. If you want to add your own LIDAR see here.
SRTM2 90m
Global coverage up to 60N is provided by Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, version 2, data from NASA. It was created in 2000 and has a resolution of 90m.
SRTM2 30m
For the USA a higher resolution version of SRTM2 is available. It was created in 2000 and has a resolution of 30m.
AW3D 30m
Global coverage up to 60N is provided by ALOS global digital surface model © JAXA. It was created in 2014 and has a resolution of 30m.
