Camper parking
We have reserved a dedicated area for campers, located on the right at the parking lot entrance. Payment for camper parking is managed through a separate online system (ParknSleep), which is widely recognized among campers. If you prefer to purchase a permit directly at the ticket office, the cost is CHF 18.- (an additional CHF 1.- per person tourism tax to be added to the rate). In this case, there is no need to register the camper’s license plate in the ParknSleep system. You simply need to pay the amount at the counter.
