TCS reminds of wild camping rules in Switzerland

The Swiss Touring Club (TCS) has published guidelines for wild camping in Switzerland. There is no uniform federal regulation; rules vary by canton and municipality, so campers are advised to contact local authorities before setting up a tent or staying overnight in a motorhome. Camping is prohibited in nature reserves, the Swiss National Park, and wildlife rest zones; bivouacking is generally tolerated above the tree line if local regulations are followed. Fires are only allowed in designated areas and are banned during dry spells or fire risk periods.
