What this means
In Morcote ist auch das Biwakieren untersagt. Der Monte Arbostora ist vollständig bewaldet, und das Gebiet der Alpe Vicania steht als Trockenwiese unter kantonalem Schutz — die kantonale Ausnahme fürs Bergbiwak greift hier nirgends.
Show machine translation
In Morcote, bivouacking is also prohibited. Monte Arbostora is completely forested, and the Alpe Vicania area is under cantonal protection as a dry meadow — the cantonal exception for mountain bivouacs does not apply anywhere.
Machine-translated, may be inaccurate — the original wording is authoritative.
Die Auskunft kommt vom technischen Amt der Gemeinde und begründet das Verbot mit der Beschaffenheit des Gebiets, nicht mit einer eigenen Vorschrift.
