Since 2023, EU drone regulations have also applied in Switzerland. National regulations also apply, and some cantons and communes have additional restrictions to protect people and the environment.
The following rules apply to all drones:
- You must be at least 12 years old to pilot a drone
- You must register if piloting a drone equipped with a camera
- Always maintain direct visual contact with your drone
- Fly no higher than 120m above ground level
- Keep a suitable distance from people who are not involved in flying the drone
- Do not fly over assemblies of people
