What this means
Brissago has no rules of its own. What is stated here is higher-level law — not a provision of this municipality.
Ausserhalb der offiziellen Campingplätze ist das Übernachten im Zelt grundsätzlich nicht zulässig — auch nicht für eine einzige Nacht und auch nicht mit einem kleinen Zelt. Vorbehalten bleibt allein die kantonale Ausnahme für das Bergbiwak.

Outside the official campsites, spending the night in a tent is generally not permitted - not even for a single night and not even with a small tent. Only the cantonal exception for the mountain bivouac is reserved.
Machine-translated, may be inaccurate — the original wording is authoritative.
Die Gemeinde betont, dass diese Ausnahme keine allgemeine Erlaubnis zum freien Campieren auf dem Gemeindegebiet ist. Sie kennt keine eigene Regelung, die freies Campieren erlauben würde, und hat keine öffentlichen Flächen dafür bezeichnet. Natur- und Landschaftsschutzbestimmungen gehen vor.

The municipality emphasizes that this exception is not a general permit for free camping on the municipal territory. It does not know of its own regulation that would allow free camping and has not designated any public areas for it. Nature and landscape protection regulations take precedence.
