Within just a few hundred kilometres, lakes, rolling hills, high Alps and Mediterranean valleys take turns. This is how the five parts of the country where you can stay overnight with Parkn'Sleep differ.
Around Lake Constance, in Appenzellerland and in Toggenburg you drive through gentle hills, orchards and villages with painted facades. Between Säntis and Lake Walen, lakeshores and peaks are only a few kilometres apart. To the regions: Lake Constance and Thurgau, St. Gallen, Appenzell and Toggenburg, Rhine Valley and Heidiland and Glarus and Lake Walen.
Lake Lucerne with Rigi, Pilatus and Stanserhorn is a classic on any trip through Switzerland. On Lake Zurich you can combine a city stroll with bathing spots and vineyards along the shore. Find out more under Lucerne and Lake Lucerne and Zurich and Lake Zurich.
Between Basel, Aargau, Bern and the Jura, river landscapes along the Aare and the Rhine, the farms of the Emmental and the wide Jura pastures await you. Distances are short and access roads mostly flat, ideal for tours away from the big passes. Discover Aargau, Solothurn and Basel, Bern, Emmental and Seeland and Western Switzerland and Jura.
Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau tower above Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, and the Blausee shimmers in the Kandertal. Valais tempts you with four-thousand-metre peaks, vineyards and thermal baths. Many pitches here are right in the mountains. Continue to Lake Thun, Interlaken and Haslital, Kandertal, Simmental and Saanenland and Valais.
Graubünden is the largest canton in the country, with mountain passes, Walser villages and the Engadine with its lakes. South of the Alps, Ticino welcomes you with palm trees on Lake Maggiore, stone houses in the valleys and grotti serving local cuisine. This way to Graubünden, Engadine and Val Müstair and Ticino.
Whichever region you choose: with Parkn'Sleep you stay with hosts such as farms, wineries, restaurants and private individuals instead of looking for a roadside parking spot in the evening.

For a first trip, Central Switzerland around Lake Lucerne or the Central Plateau are good choices. Distances are short, roads are well built and many pitches can be reached without a steep approach. If you are looking for mountains, the Bernese Oberland has valleys that are easy to drive even with larger vehicles.
Cantons and municipalities regulate this differently, and in many places staying overnight outside official sites is prohibited. On Parkn'Sleep pitches you stay with the host's permission. You can find the details in the article Wild camping in Switzerland.
Most regions are at their best from May to October. In Ticino spring starts earlier, while in the mountains many passes only open in June. Each region page tells you when a visit is especially worthwhile.
Yes. More than 100 pitches in Switzerland are suitable for winter, especially in Graubünden, Valais and around Lake Lucerne. Ideal if you want to go skiing or winter hiking with your camper.
