What this means
Giornico has no rules of its own. What is stated here is higher-level law — not a provision of this municipality.
Giornico kennt keine eigene Regelung zum Campieren oder Übernachten im Freien ausserhalb bewilligter Flächen; dafür gilt das kantonale Recht. Campieren ist damit nur auf bewilligten Plätzen erlaubt, ausgenommen das Biwak im Gebirge.
Show machine translation
Giornico does not have its own regulation on camping or spending the night outdoors outside approved areas; cantonal law applies to this. Camping is therefore only allowed on approved sites, with the exception of bivouacs in the mountains.
Machine-translated, may be inaccurate — the original wording is authoritative.
Im Tessin gilt die kantonale Legge sui campeggi: Campieren nur auf bewilligten Plätzen, ausgenommen das Zelten zum Zweck des Biwakierens im Gebirge (Art. 2). Giornico liegt in der Leventina und reicht weit über die Waldgrenze; die Ausnahme greift hier tatsächlich.
