Wildlife Refuge

The Swiss wildlife refuges are crucial areas for protecting mammals and birds and aim to avoid disturbances caused by the increase in outdoor activities in the recent years. Entry to Swiss wildlife refuges is prohibited during certain times of the year as well as on special occasions. For some wildlife refuges, prohibition of entry is a mere recommendation, while for others it is strictly prohibited by law and punishable in the case of violation.

Wildlife quiet zones are important areas for mammals and birds where the needs of wild animals are prioritised. They serve to prevent excessive disturbance in response to increasing recreational use. Wildlife quiet zones may only be used for leisure activities on official paths during certain seasons - or in some cases throughout the year.
