Routes with Additional Tolls
While the Swiss motorway vignette covers the majority of national roads, there are specific tunnels and car-train services that require an additional, separate toll. It's crucial to be aware of these to ensure a smooth and complaint journey.
Great St Bernard Tunnel
Connecting Martigny (Switzerland) and Aosta Valley (Italy), this international tunnel is a key route between the two countries. The vignette does not cover its usage.
- Location: Between Switzerland and Italy
- Cost: Varies by vehicle type and single/return trip.
Munt la Schera Tunnel
This single-lane tunnel connects the Engadin valley in Switzerland with Livigno, Italy. It serves both passenger and freight traffic and often operates with alternating directions.
- Location: Between Switzerland (Engadin) and Italy (Livigno)
- Cost: Varies, often with discounts for return trips or online purchase.
Car-Trains (Autoverlad)
In mountainous regions, car-trains offer a convenient way to bypass long drives over high passes or through areas without road access. You drive your car onto a railway wagon.
- Examples: Lötschberg, Furka, Oberalp
- Purpose: Cross challenging terrain quickly.
General Tip for Travelers
Always cross-reference your planned route with an up-to-date map application or GPS and check for any specific toll requirements before you start your journey. Being prepared ensures you avoid unexpected charges or delays.
Note: Swiss Drive Guide does not sell these special toll passes or car-train tickets.
