What this means

Minusio has no rules of its own. What is stated here is higher-level law — not a provision of this municipality.

Ausserhalb bewilligter Flächen ist Campieren nicht zulässig. Ausgenommen ist allein das Zelten zum Zweck des Biwakierens im Gebirge oberhalb der Baumgrenze.

Show machine translation

Camping outside approved areas is not permitted. The only exception is camping for the purpose of bivouacking in the mountains above the tree line.

Machine-translated, may be inaccurate — the original wording is authoritative.
