Where is a vignette required in Switzerland?
The vignette is required on Swiss motorways and expressways marked with green signs. Drivers traveling to Zurich, Basel, Bern, Lucerne, Geneva, Lugano, and further to Italy, France, or Germany use them.
Local roads and some mountain routes may be free, but they often significantly extend the journey. If the route involves a motorway, it's best to prepare your e-vignette before entering the country.
Attention: Trailers
A car and a trailer require separate vignettes. If you are towing a caravan or a cargo trailer, purchase a separate permit for the vehicle and for the trailer.
