I assume that you know that campfires are restricted to “Feurstellen” in CH. Ask locally at the head of the desired Wanderweg. An unauthorized fire will likely be a problem.

The Swiss Alpen Club website may be of some use as well. They focus on hut to hut hikes but you don’t have to stay in the hut perhaps. 🙂 http://www.sac-cas.ch/

A large part of the 6 Alpenpasse-weg is below 2200 meters, so I wouldn´t be allowed to wild camp there. I think I may just end up spending a lot of time in the Valais stretch of the trail, checking out the area.
I´d like to buy detailed trail maps. I think Kompass maps 125, 15, and 117 are what I need. I can´t find them online. Will I be certain to find those or similar maps in the area, for example in Martigny? Where would you suggest I buy those maps?
Also, let´s say I spend one week at a time in the mountains just to head back to my car every week to see how it´s doing, and to drive it to a different location. Where do you suggest I leave my car? Do you think there are any free and safe places for me to leave it? Sorry, I´m not that familiar with the Alps, nor with traveling by car.

Hi Lucas,
The website led me to another site that showed me exactly which maps I need, and I found out where to get the maps in the Netherlands if I want to buy them here, so yes, it was very helpful, thanks!
How about parking in small towns? I’m thinking of driving to Trient first and taking a week to hike the trail that I mentioned before to Sion. Is it easy to find a free space to park in small towns like Trient and to leave my car there for a week? Otherwise I´ll leave it in Martigny and I´ll take public transport.

Hmm tough question.
I’d contact the local authority in this case. Try the following web sites and contact details – best to ask. 🙂
