Summary
Switzerland's highest court has upheld the right of local authorities to fine individuals for hiking naked, ruling that it is a marginal infringement on personal freedom. The ruling applies to the whole country, and the decision came after an appeal by a man who had been fined for hiking nude past a family picnic area and a Christian rehabilitation centre.
