Can I wild camp in Switzerland?




Ben


I will be long-distance walking from Italy to Zurich. I would like to try to sleep in the forest along my route. I will not be making a fire, nor setting up a tent.
I know that this is illegal in Switzerland, but what if I get permission from the landowner? Also, are there any dangerous animals?



Answer
Actually, wild camping is not generally illegal in Switzerland.

Regulations on camping in the wild differ greatly between municipalities and cantons as well as wildlife reservation areas. In some places, local regulations or environmental protection laws prohibit camping (for instance in protected landscapes or hunting grounds -the latter taking your own safety into consideration!). As a rule of thumb, camping above the tree-line is ok in most places.

To be on the safe side, be wary of any signs posted along footpaths and ask for information at a local tourist office or town hall. I believe a good alternative is to just ask farmers/land owners for permission (like you stated), and you should be fine.
