    I want to take my son on a backpack trip in Ticino and stay in a tent. Haven’t been able to find any information regarding where it is and where it is not allowed. Somewhere I remember reading that it is ok to camp around the alpine huts. Is this correct?

    Hi Rintintin,

    You’ll find details on https://www.myswissalps.com/campsites/wildcamping and particularly the links under “More on other websites”. I would not camp near huts, or at least first consult with the warden.
