Wild camping at Isenau

Isenau, 1'864 m, is an open alp plateau above Les Diablerets, and the alp belongs to the commune of Ormont-Dessus. The commune's police regulation allows a night on private ground only with the agreement of the owner, tenant or farmer. With that yes, level ground is easy to find.

What do these mean?

Illegal A specific rule bans it, usually with a fine, and it can be enforced. Sleep somewhere else.

Not allowed No real place to camp here. A gated site, a developed area, or nowhere sensible to lie down, even if no fine is attached.

It depends You can sleep here, but there's a condition first: ask the landowner, book a spot, stay inside a set zone, or use a bivvy instead of a tent. The report says which.

Tolerated No rule clearly allows or bans it, but a single night is accepted in practice and nobody enforces against it. Normal for high bivouacs above the treeline.

Legal Camping one night is fine here. Either a rule allows it, or we checked every law and found nothing against it. Still: pitch late, leave early, no trace.

What "wild camping" means here: one night. A small tent or a bivvy bag, up towards evening, gone in the morning. Not a base camp, not a camper van. Most Swiss bans are written against camping; whether a single night also falls under them depends on the exact wording, so this article checks that wording. The full difference: wild camping vs bivouacking.

Ormont-Dessus's rule: private ground only with a yes

Wild camping at Isenau is lawful for one night only with the yes of whoever holds the land. That rule is communal, it sits in the police regulation of Ormont-Dessus, and it decides this plateau. Corrected on 2 October 2026: an earlier version of this page said that nothing forbids a night here, at any level. The commune's police regulation, published as a scan, sets this condition.11

"Sur le domaine privé, le camping occasionnel n'est permis qu'avec l'accord du propriétaire, du locataire, du fermier ou du possesseur à un autre titre de l'immeuble. L'autorisation de la Municipalité ou de l'autorité délégataire est obligatoire pour toute durée excédant quatre jours (3 nuits)."Règlement communal de police d'Ormont-Dessus, approved on 5 July 2021, art. 76 para. 2.

In plain words: on private ground, one night needs the agreement of the owner, the tenant or the farmer, and a stay beyond four days (3 nights) also needs a permit from the commune. Paragraph 1 of the same article bans camping and caravanning "sous toutes leurs formes" on public land, except at places the Municipalité designates. The regulation does not define camping; a night in a small tent is plainly occasional camping, and a bivvy bag is safest treated the same way.11

The plateau is private ground, so paragraph 2 applies. The regulation counts as private any land on which someone holds title, possession or exclusive use (art. 3 lit. h). The point and the recommended pitch both lie on parcel 1764, 614 hectares, which the cadastre records as an ordinary registered parcel and not as public domain. Isenau is also one of the commune's own alpages, leased to an alp keeper, and that is where the yes comes from.312

Without the yes, it is a fine. Art. 11 makes any breach of the regulation punishable by a fine within the Vaud contraventions act, whose art. 25 caps a municipal fine at CHF 500, or CHF 1'000 for a repeat or a continuing breach. Camping is not on the regulation's list of fixed order fines, so a breach goes through an ordinary municipal sentence.11

The federal level returns nothing at all. Queried at the point on 13 August 2026: the landscape inventory, the game reserves, the wildlife rest zones, the raised bogs, the fens, the mire landscapes, the floodplains, the dry meadows, the amphibian sites and the parks of national importance are all empty. That is not a common result in the Alps, and it is only worth anything if the query itself is sound, so both directions were controlled: a deliberately invalid layer name errors with HTTP 400 rather than returning an empty set, and a positive control at a known reserve returns that reserve.1

The cadastre puts almost nothing over the point either. The Vaud cadastre carries 312 restrictions on this parcel, which sounds like a lot until you look at where they are: at the point itself the plan returns only "Affectation non renseignée", no assigned zoning, alongside the perimeter of the legalised plans. The groundwater protection zones are close but not underneath: S2 at 81 metres, S3 at 140, S1 at 165. Noise sensitivity level III and the agricultural zone both start 173 metres away, and the forest area is 1'488 metres off. Reading that extract at all took a parser written for this canton specifically, which is a caveat worth carrying rather than burying.32

Vaud's camping act is not the rule here. The canton devotes a whole section of its statute book to camping, which at first looks like bad news. Then you read article 1. A terrain de camping is an equipped site intended to receive mobile installations regularly. Article 2 says such a site may only be established in a zone reserved for it in the communal plan, and article 3 requires a building permit for laying one out. The act regulates the making of campsites. It says nothing about one person, one tent, one night, and stretching it to cover that would be the same error as reading a caravan-parking rule as a bivouac ban.4

The cantonal nature act is silent too, and I checked the current one. This matters because the old 1969 LPNMS was replaced: the act in force since 1 January 2023 is the Loi sur la protection du patrimoine naturel et paysager. Read in full, 73 articles, it returns zero occurrences of camping, tente, bivouac or caravane, against control terms of 73 for "Art." and 87 for "protection". Its implementing regulation, 83 articles, returns zero as well.6

The commune's planning regulation has no camping rule; its police regulation has. The Ormont-Dessus building and planning regulations of 9 January 2001 contain no provision on camping, tents, bivouacs or caravans. The commune put its camping rule into the police regulation instead.5

One instrument does mention camping near here, and it is worth naming so nobody is caught out by it second-hand: the model regulation for the groundwater protection zones permits "terrains de camping, terrains pour caravanes et mobil-homes" in S3 and Sm zones only if they have sealed connections to the waste-water network, and makes S1 a closed list of permitted uses which camping is not on. Those are rules for installations in water-catchment zones, and the nearest of those zones is 81 metres from the point rather than under it.7

How it is possible: ask the alp, then pitch on the plateau

The yes comes from whoever holds the land, and at Isenau that is the commune, which leases the alp to an alp keeper for the summer. So there are two doors, depending on the season.12

In summer, ask at the Alpage d'Isenau. The working alp in the chalets at Chemin d'Isenau 12, about 120 m south of the point and on the same parcel as the pitch, sells its own cheese and sausages in summer, and the Diablerets tourist office lists it at +41 76 577 09 69. Say where you want to pitch and for how many nights, and take the answer as it comes. Outside the alp season, ask the commune, which owns the alp: Administration communale, Rue de la Gare 1, 1865 Les Diablerets, +41 24 492 00 20, greffe@ormont-dessus.ch. No fee is published.12

A permission is only useful with a place attached, so here is the ground.

This is a broad, gentle plateau, which is why the answer is worth having. Sampled on the federal terrain model over an 800-metre box, 1'089 points, no standing water anywhere in the box: the slope at the point is 3.6 degrees, and 102 of 961 evaluated samples come in under 7 degrees. Requiring at least 150 metres of clearance from every registered building still leaves 59 of them. The best is 1.0 degrees at 1'878.7 metres, LV95 2'580'933 / 1'135'514, WGS84 46.370728 N / 7.190854 E, 106 metres from the point and 177 metres from the nearest building.8 The pitch lies outside the wildlife rest zone La Chaux, which begins 82 metres away: the zone binds only when there is snow, and then you may enter it only on its marked routes; in summer it changes nothing.13

Keep off the chalets. Three registered buildings stand at 78, 96 and 120 metres from the point, addressed Chemin d'Isenau, and there is a fourth further out. They are why the pitch above is placed away from the point rather than on it: there is no rule against being near them, only the ordinary courtesy of not putting a tent in somebody's view when fifty-nine alternatives exist within a few hundred metres.9

Stay off the water-catchment zones. The groundwater protection zones start 81 metres from the point. Nothing prohibits you from walking through them, but a spring catchment is exactly the ground where a badly sited camp does real harm, and the published pitch sits clear of all three. If you improvise a different spot, put distance between yourself and anything that looks like a captation.3

Altitude is on your side and so is the Alpine Club. At 1'864 metres you are above the local treeline, and the SAC's position is that a single considerate one-night bivouac above the treeline and outside protected areas is generally tolerated in Switzerland. Isenau satisfies both halves of that qualifier. The SAC also makes it subject to local rules, and at Isenau the commune's police regulation is one: the yes comes first.10

What the yes costs you. Places stay open because nothing accumulates. Arrive late, leave early, one small tent, no fire, no trace, and carry out everything including the things that seem harmless. Isenau is an alp: there will be stock, there will be fences, and gates are left as you found them. A night that leaves nothing behind is what gets the next person a yes.

The place

Isenau: WGS84 46.370055 N / 7.191832 E, LV95 2'581'008 / 1'135'439, 1'864.1 m on the federal terrain model, commune of Ormont-Dessus, canton Vaud, on the alp plateau north-west of Les Diablerets. The cadastral parcel is 1764 and covers 6'143'848 m², which is the scale you are dealing with: an alp, not a corner of one.3

The approach is the Col d'Isenau side or up from the village; the Skilift Isenau lies 778 metres from the point and the Col d'Isenau 799 metres. Note that the resort village of Les Diablerets below and the Diablerets massif itself are a different question from this plateau, and this page does not speak for either: a request for "Les Diablerets" covers a village, a massif and five communes across three cantons, which is why the answer has to be pinned to ground this specific.9

One document I could not read, and I would rather say so than let its absence pass unnoticed: the règlement for the plan governing the Isenau cable-car project is published as an image-only PDF, two pages, from which no text can be extracted. It is a zoning instrument for a lift installation, so it is unlikely to bear on a tent, but I have not read it and I am not going to imply that I have. If that plan is ever what matters to you, ask the commune for a readable copy.

One more caveat with a date on it. The cadastre records a plan modification with anticipated effect 912 metres from the point. Zoning here is being worked on, so the plan in force when you go may differ from the one described here. This page is dated for that reason.3

  • Here, on the plateau, with the yes of the alp or the commune: the commune's police regulation allows one night on private ground with the agreement of the owner, tenant or farmer, and 59 candidate pitches sit under 7 degrees and at least 150 m from any building118.
  • Best measured spot: 1.0 degrees at 1'878.7 m, LV95 2'580'933 / 1'135'514, 106 m from the point and 177 m clear of the nearest chalet8.
  • Not beside the Chemin d'Isenau chalets, 78 to 120 m from the point, which is courtesy rather than law9.
  • Not in the groundwater catchment zones, which begin 81 m away and are the one piece of ground here where a bad camp does lasting damage3.
  • Not as a base camp: beyond four days (3 nights) the regulation adds a permit from the Municipalité to the landholder's yes, and the permit can be refused where there are no toilets nearby11.

General rules for wild camping

The yes covers one night on a working alp, and the list below is what keeps it on offer for the next person who asks. It is not legal text, it is decency and common sense.

  • No fire. An open fire has no place in the mountains. A gas stove is enough.
  • Pitch late, strike early. Set up towards evening, gone again early. A bivouac is one night, not a base camp.
  • Leave no rubbish. Everything you carry up you carry down, organic scraps and toilet paper included.
  • At least 50 metres from any water for the big business, so you do not foul what people and livestock drink.
  • Stay small and quiet. A small group, no speaker, no drone, dogs on the lead, and the alp staff's word goes.

Disclaimer

This article reflects my research and assessment to the best of my knowledge, as of October 2026. It is based on the publicly accessible and official sources linked below. It does not replace legal advice and is not a binding statement of the current legal situation.

The verdict rests on art. 76 of the Ormont-Dessus police regulation, read from the scan the commune publishes, and on the cadastre, which records parcel 1764 as an ordinary registered parcel rather than public domain; the regulation treats such land as private ground (art. 3 lit. h). An earlier version of this page, corrected on 2 October 2026, rated Isenau legal without that regulation. The commune can designate places or adopt a camping regulation at any time (art. 76 para. 3), and the cadastre already records a plan modification with anticipated effect nearby. That Isenau is a communal alp rests on the commune's own lease notice; the cadastre extract does not name owners. The reading of the cantonal camping act as a campsite-facility law follows from its own definition in art. 1, but a court could read it more broadly than I have. I was unable to extract text from the cable-car plan regulation, which is published as an image-only PDF, and I have said so rather than treating it as silent. Distances are measured against published polygons and register points, not markers in the terrain. Before every tour, check the current sources yourself and follow the signs on site. A genuine emergency bivouac in distress is a separate question from a planned camp. Anyone who spends the night outside bears responsibility for their own conduct and any consequences themselves. Hikebeast, Leon Helg and Saftladen GmbH accept no liability for decisions made on the basis of this text, and call on no one to break applicable law.

Frequently asked questions

Is wild camping allowed at Isenau?
For one night, with the yes of whoever holds the land. Art. 76 of the Ormont-Dessus police regulation, approved on 5 July 2021, bans camping in all its forms on public land and allows occasional camping on private ground only with the agreement of the owner, tenant, farmer or other holder; beyond four days (3 nights) a permit from the Municipalité is needed too. The plateau is an ordinary registered parcel, private ground, and one of the commune's own alpages. Pitching without a yes is fined under art. 25 of the Vaud contraventions act: up to CHF 500, or CHF 1'000 for a repeat.
Doesn't Vaud have a camping law?
It does, and it is not the rule that decides this. Law 935.61 art. 1 defines a terrain de camping as "l'emplacement aménagé en vue de recevoir régulièrement des installations mobiles servant à l'habitation passagère ou saisonnière, telles que tentes, caravanes ...". Art. 2 confines such a site to a zone reserved for it in the communal plan and art. 3 requires a building permit to lay one out. It regulates the creation of campsites, not one person with a small tent for one night. The rule for that is communal: art. 76 of the Ormont-Dessus police regulation.
Where exactly should the tent go?
Once you have the yes, about 106 metres from the point, at 1.0 degrees and 1'878.7 metres. LV95 2'580'933 / 1'135'514. That spot is 177 metres from the nearest registered building and clear of the groundwater protection zones, which start 81 metres from the point. It is not the only option: 59 samples in an 800-metre box come in under 7 degrees while also being at least 150 metres from any building, so this is a genuinely spacious plateau rather than one lucky patch.
What about the chalets and the ski lift?
They are close enough to matter for courtesy, not for legality. Three registered buildings stand 78, 96 and 120 metres from the point along the Chemin d'Isenau, and the Skilift Isenau is 778 metres away with the Col d'Isenau at 799. No rule keeps you away from them. The recommended pitch is placed 177 metres clear of the nearest one simply because there is no reason to camp in somebody's view when the plateau offers dozens of alternatives.
Who do I ask for the yes?
The alp in summer, the commune the rest of the year. Isenau is one of the commune's own alpages, leased to an alp keeper. In summer the Alpage d'Isenau, in the chalets about 120 metres south of the point, sells its cheese and answers on +41 76 577 09 69, the number the Diablerets tourist office lists. Outside the season ask the commune, which owns the alp: +41 24 492 00 20, greffe@ormont-dessus.ch, Rue de la Gare 1, 1865 Les Diablerets. Beyond four days (3 nights) the Municipalité's permit is needed as well. No fee is published.

  2. Method note on the Vaud cadastre, recorded because it changes what a negative is worth. The RDPPF extract for this canton uses a different structure from the German-speaking cantons: the parcel sits at Item.RealEstate and each restriction's geometry at Geometry[].Item as GML-style exterior and interior rings of polyline.Items[] points, rather than the GeoJSON-style Surface key used elsewhere.

Point-in-polygon at the point returns "Affectation non renseignée" and "Valeur non renseignée" alongside the perimeter of the legalised plans, so the communal plan assigns no zone at this exact location. Every restriction was then ranked by distance rather than tested only at the point: Zone de protection des eaux souterraines S2 at 81 m, S3 at 140 m, S1 at 165 m, Degré de sensibilité III and Zone agricole 16 LAT both at 173 m, a plan modification with anticipated effect at 912 m, and the Aire forestière at 1'488 m.

Art. 1: "Est réputé terrain de camping l'emplacement aménagé en vue de recevoir régulièrement des installations mobiles servant à l'habitation passagère ou saisonnière, telles que tentes, caravanes, fourgonnettes ou voitures de tourisme avec couchettes." Art. 2 para. 1: such a site "ne peut être installé que dans une zone réservée à cet effet dans le plan d'extension communal en vigueur". Art. 3 subjects laying one out to a building permit and a special cantonal authorisation.
