The rules for drones in Switzerland are still quite open.
No authorisation is required as long as the pilot can see his drone.
You need special authorisation if you want to use binoculars or VR headsets
VR headsets and goggles are authorised if you have a second person present who can take control in case of an emergency.
Autopilot is allowed as long as the pilot can see his drone. If a pilot wants to fly beyond visual range a special authorisation is required.
Les prises de vue aériennes sont admises sous réserve de la réglementation relative à la protection des installations militaires. Il y a lieu également de respecter la sphère privée et plus généralement les dispositions de la loi sur la protection des données.
You can film what you want as long as you do not film military installations and respect peoples' privacy.
You can't get to within 100m of a crowd unless you make a written request beforehand.
Afin de garantir les prétentions des tiers au sol, l'exploitant d'un drone ou d'un modèle réduit d'un poids de plus de 500 grammes doit conclure une assurance responsabilité civile d'une somme d'un million de francs au moins.
