What this means

Uri kennt keine allgemeine kantonale Regelung zum Campieren oder Biwakieren. Eine Volltextsuche im gesamten schweizerischen Kantonsrecht über lexfind.ch (Begriffe «campieren», «kampieren», «biwakieren», «camping sauvage», «bivouaquer») findet ausserhalb von Obwalden keinen Erlass, der das Übernachten im Freien allgemein regelt. Über das Übernachten im Freien entscheidet in diesem Kanton deshalb die Gemeinde — meist im Polizeireglement. Was die Karte dazu weiss, steht bei der Gemeindefläche.

Show machine translation

Uri does not have any general cantonal regulations on camping or bivouacking. A full-text search of lexfind.ch (terms "camping", "camping", "bivouaking", "camping sauvage", "bivouaquer") does not find any decree outside of Obwalden that generally regulates spending the night outdoors. In this canton, the municipality therefore decides on overnight stays outdoors – usually in the police regulations. What the map knows about this can be found in the municipal area.

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

Der Kanton regelt Errichtung und Betrieb öffentlicher Zeltplätze (RB 70.2431), nicht das Campieren ausserhalb davon.

The canton regulates the construction and operation of public campsites (RB 70.2431), not camping outside them.

Municipalities with their own information

Outside protected areas, the municipality decides. For these 3, their regulations have been looked up.

Tent camping in the 3 municipalities looked up
Allowed, with conditions1
Only with a permit1
Prohibited1

Tent camping allowed or allowed under conditions:

Andermatt (with conditions) · Wassen (only with permission)

All municipalities looked up:

Andermatt · Gurtnellen · Wassen

For the remaining 16 municipalities of the canton, nothing has been researched yet. The map therefore leaves them unfilled and shows the municipality's contact instead — no entry never means “allowed”.

Not yet looked up

These municipalities of the canton do not have their own entry yet. They are listed here anyway, because the answer “nothing is regulated at cantonal level for Uri, and nothing has been looked up for your municipality yet” is an answer — and because the map holds the contact of each municipality.

Altdorf (UR) · Attinghausen · Bürglen (UR) · Erstfeld · Flüelen · Göschenen · Hospental · Isenthal · Realp · Schattdorf · Seedorf (UR) · Seelisberg · Silenen · Sisikon · Spiringen · Unterschächen
