Why is the A10 Tauern subject to a separate toll?
The section of the A10 motorway, including the Katschberg and Tauern tunnels, has been classified as a 'special section'. This is an exceptionally costly investment in Alpine infrastructure, which is why separate tolls have been introduced. This means that even if you have a valid Austrian vignette, you must additionally purchase a section ticket for passage through the tunnels. This fee applies to all vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes (passenger cars, motorcycles, campers).
