Switzerland


General


With the most breathtaking mountain scenery in Europe, more than two thirds of Switzerland is mountainous. The peaks and glaciers near Zermatt provide a stunning backdrop. The medieval charm and character of many villages and towns has been proudly preserved.

 

Using Swiss Motorways to get to your destination or during your holiday?
All vehicles using Swiss motorways must pay an annual tax of around 40 Swiss francs. There is an additional fee of around 40 Swiss francs for trailers and caravans. Vehicles must display a special sticker (‘vignette’), which can be bought at the Swiss border crossings, or can be purchased in advance from Switzerland Tourism in London. It is advisable to obtain one in advance in order to avoid delays at the border. The ‘vignette’ is valid for a whole calendar year and enables you to drive on any motorway and exit and re-enter the country as often as you like during this time without further charge. Credit cards are not accepted for payment of a vignette.
