Drone technology is still quite fragile and drones require good knowledge of the local security regulations, especially in urban settings, or official pilot training. That's why the «Bureau culturel» prefers to provide you with the following valuable information.
Swiss map
The content of the interactive drone map is constantly evolving and is not exhaustive. National and cantonal restrictions are indicated on the drone map.
Geneva map
The interactive map allows you to view areas where drone flights are prohibited or restricted, and indicates the procedures to follow depending on the desired flight location. An update is expected in early 2026!
