    Hi everyone

    I’m planning a trip from Engelbeg to Beckenried with an overnight wild camping stay at the Bannalpsee. Does anyone know if that is permitted? I’ve seen there is a Bergguesthaus next to it, so we would plan to camp far away from them, not to disturb them (and also out of the game reserves).

    Thank you and kind regards,

    Eva

    Hi Eva,

    Welcome to MySwissAlps!

    As far as I know, wild camping rules are set by the local authorities. Most won’t allow wild camping in protected areas but they may be exceptions. To be sure, perhaps it’s best to ask direct: http://www.bannalp.ch/index.php/kontakt

    General information about camping in Switzerland is available here: http://www.myswissalps.com/campsites

    Regards,

    Anna

    Hi Eva,

    The links on the second page that Anna referred to will be helpful to prepare. As you can see the options around the Bannalpsee are limited as you can only camp above the treeline and not in conservation areas. But it’s not entirely impossible just looking at these factors.

    Have fun!
