What this means
Locarno has no rules of its own. What is stated here is higher-level law — not a provision of this municipality.
Ein Zelt darf nur auf einem Campingplatz stehen. Ausserhalb ist allein das Bergbiwak zulässig — nach Auskunft der Gemeindepolizei oberhalb der Waldgrenze und in der Regel für eine einzige Nacht. Eine Bewilligung braucht es dafür nicht, und es gibt keine Sperrzeiten.
Show machine translation
A tent may only be placed on a campsite. Outside, only the mountain bivouac is permitted — according to the municipal police, above the tree line and usually for a single night. A permit is not required for this, and there are no closing times.
Machine-translated, may be inaccurate — the original wording is authoritative.
Die Gemeindepolizei verweist auf Art. 2 und 3 der kantonalen Legge sui campeggi. Sie bittet ausdrücklich, auf Beschilderung vor Ort zu achten — örtliche oder befristete Verbote gehen vor — und Flora, Fauna und Ruhe zu achten.
