Camping in Switzerland: what to know
Season
Many campsites open from April or May to September or October. Mountain campsites are often open in winter too.
Wild camping
Cantons and municipalities set the rules. A single overnight bivouac above the tree line may be tolerated in some Alpine areas, but this is not a nationwide right. Restrictions apply in protected areas, wildlife reserves, forests and near settlements.
With a motorhome
Whether you may sleep overnight in a parked motorhome depends on cantonal, municipal and site-specific rules. Use authorised campsites or stopovers where overnight parking is restricted. Motorways require a vignette. Motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes pay a separate heavy-vehicle charge instead.
Rules vary by region and may change. Always check current local regulations and signs before you travel.
