Poster: A snowHead
|
Well, I am asking a question for a change!!!
We are driving over from La Tania (3 valleys France) to Klosters on Saturday 23rd March, It is many years since I drove in Switzerland, and was wondering if any SH's could help me out?
My sat nav thingy says its going to take 6 hrs, and its is auto routes all the way, I have a doffer for the French auto routes so thats no problem, but trying to work out the tolls in Switzerland is fun, is it just pop your credit card into the toll booths?
Also do I need a disc to drive on the Swiss auto routes, last time I was there was 1997 and didn't have one then.
Any help much appreciated.
Oh and PS the Klosters thing is an old mate who is putting us up so no "well thats a bit posh" comments its not costing me anything

livetoski, you need a vignette to stick on your windscreen for the swiss motorways, 40 CHF at the border points, AFAIK there are no other tolls to pay, I've never paid any others anyway.

sarah, thanks, if there is no tolls on the Swiss side that sort of explains why my sat nav search was not showing toll fees
Is the 40CHF cash only or can we card it?

livetoski, not sure about cards, I've only ever bought one in advance and had it posted or handed over cash to the man at the border. I can't imagine they wouldn't take cards but you never know!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

At Bardonnex (from Chamonix - Geneva) there's a booth, so you can go in and pay. I have a feeling the chaps take cards too - the Swiss are generally not short of ways to relieve you of your hard-earned. There are no other tolls (and the vignette includes some, not all, the Alpine tunnels).

You'll need to Register first of course.

livetoski, it is possible to pay for the vignette by card.
