As long as you aren't in someones literal backyard or in an enclosed military base you can camp and hike wherever. Switzerland has similar laws but some cantons are slightly more restrictive. Graubünden (Grisons) and Ticino, by far the most picturesque and stereotypically Swiss cantons, located within the alps, have great hiking routes and are also very permissive. As is in their nature, the Swiss are highly bound by their rigid codes and laws, so you should have no issues hiking there. The only downside to Switzerland is that it's more expensive. Austria allows hiking but not camping without asking the owners of the land before. Germany has federal right-to-roam laws, and Bavaria (the state with mountains) has the most permissive of these. My friends have also hiked in Portugal, but their infrastructure is worse, their rural areas are very much dying, and to my knowledge, they have no right-to-roam counterpart. It is a whole lot cheaper, especially in the poorer northern regions. They still enjoyed their time, though.
