What this means
Ascona has no rules of its own. What is stated here is higher-level law — not a provision of this municipality.
Ascona hat keine eigene Regelung zum Campieren und keine Flächen dafür vorgesehen. Es gilt deshalb das kantonale Recht: Campieren nur auf bewilligten Plätzen, ausgenommen das Bergbiwak.
Show machine translation
Ascona has no separate regulations for camping and no areas designated for it. Cantonal law therefore applies: camping only on approved sites, with the exception of the mountain bivouac.
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). Da die Gemeinde keine Campingflächen ausgewiesen hat, bleibt ausserhalb der privaten Campingplätze nur diese Ausnahme.
