Switzerland The Chocolate Mountain

Yeah it is. In Switzerland it's allowed to camp anywhere above 2000 m.. the see it's about 2300m high. I did camp there and nobody had complained about it. Be aware that the nights are freezing:-) Have fun

Sorry also forgot going higher than 2800 m is forbidden at Zermatt... you could be fined up to 5000 swiss francs :-( just keep that in mind

Thanks for the info. I rechecked with the official Zermatt page, there they say it's not allowed. http://www.zermatt.ch/Media/Artikel/Freies-Campieren I'm confused

Yeah me to know...I campt there and there was like 10 other people camping there also.. probably you need to buy a permission... I will check more about it and tell you later..... sorry for the confusion

So check this map. https://map.geo.admin.ch/?lang=de&layers=ch.bafu.wrz-wildruhezonen_portal,ch.bafu.bundesinventare-auen,ch.bafu.bundesinventare-hochmoore,ch.bafu.bundesinventare-flachmoore_regional,ch.bafu.bundesinventare-flachmoore,ch.bafu.bundesinventare-jagdbanngebiete,ch.bafu.schutzgebiete-schweizerischer_nationalpark&layers_opacity=0.9,0.75,0.75,0.75,0.75,0.75,0.75&bgLayer=ch.swisstopo.pixelkarte-farbe&zoom=4&X=93277.12&Y=623492.21&topic=ech¨ The map is official from Switzerland

So .... After a lot of research on this topic, I found out it's actually forbidden to camp at stellisee, but they can tolerate it. The Alternative is to stay at the hotel up there. It's a very nice one and not far at all from the Stellisee (3min walk). Or you can ask for an Authorization under: Zermatt Tourismus Bahnhofplatz 5 Postfach 247 3920 Zermatt Tel. +41 (0)27 966 81 00 Fax +41 (0)27 966 81 01 [email protected] So I have camped there and didn't have any problems (there was like 10 other people also camping). So I think it's camping under your own risk not getting caught. I hope I could help you

You helped me a lot. Thanks for your effort :-)
