What this means
Wallis 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
Valais 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, therefore, the municipality decides on overnight stays outdoors – usually in the police regulations. What the map knows about this is found in the municipal area.

Im Walliser Recht erscheint das Biwakieren in Schutz- und Jagdbestimmungen: dem Entscheid zum Schutz von Wald und Landschaft von Derborence (451.114), dem Ausführungsreglement zum Jagdgesetz (922.100) und dem jährlichen Jagdbeschluss (922.110).

In Valais law, bivouacking appears in protection and hunting provisions: the Decision for the Protection of the Forest and Landscape of Derborence (451.114), the Implementing Regulations for the Hunting Act (922.100) and the Annual Hunting Resolution (922.110).

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 Valais, and nothing has been looked up for your municipality yet” is an answer — and because the map holds the contact of each municipality.
