In 2018, several citizens of a municipality in the Oberland region noticed helicopter landings at a location where they believe this is not allowed. They reported this to the community clerk. Photos were also submitted. The community then opened a building inspection procedure. The owner of the parcel where they landed was also informed of this.
This requested file inspection, which was also granted to him. However, there was no mention in the files of who had reported the landings. This information was not provided. Instead, the landowner got a fee of 250 francs.
