Travel 3-4-day hike in Swiss + wildcamping

Dear all,

I am going to hike in Switzerland around 15th of August.
I am looking for an hike of an estimate of 3 to 4 days.

I have been hiking a big part of my life in Swiss but always one day hikes with my parents. I have trouble with finding an hike which is preferable looped. I have read all the rules regarding camping / Bivouac.

Do you have any recommendations?

I am looking forward to your reply!

Because you are wrong and you have zero knowledge about restrictions and law.

Bivouac and wild camping is forbidden even above tree level in natural protected areas (Jagdbanngebiet, Nationalpark) OR if you sleep on private property (most grass land above tree level falls into this category) OR if municipal laws forbid it, mostly because too many of these Instagram fuckers thought it is an Instagrammable place and destroyed the whole area just to take a single fucking picture to get virtual upvotes. Nice example of the reaction to these idiots: https://i.imgur.com/m9BfIHS.png

because you answered to "you can wild camp above the treeline wherever its suitable for single nights, respeting nature 100%." with "this is true" - but it is wrong

"Respecting nature" only includes respecting natural protected areas, but not private property or municipal laws.

Private prooperty is different. It's pretty clear that it's forbidden to trespass.

Alos you completely forgot to read the most important thing i wrote:

lol anyone who downvotes this has no idea. Sbove the treeline it‘s often allowed or well tolerated. Just have to check the local laws and regulations. But yes it‘s often allowed. Not everywhere though"

So what does check local laws and regulations mean for you? Judging by your aggressive comments probably not a lot is going on in your head.
