Vignette guide · Fines checked 15 Oct 2026
Switzerland vignette
In Switzerland you need a vignette on the motorways and expressways: the motorway vignette for the calendar year, as an e-vignette or a sticker. Routava checks whether your car has one and warns you before you cross.

Where you need it
National roads of classes 1 and 2 (motorways and some expressways), from the border. One calendar-year vignette.
If you are caught without one
Without a vignette, a fine of up to 200 CHF is possible. A car and a trailer that both lack one are charged twice. Indicative: the figure the authority states, checked 15 Oct 2026. Amounts and rules change.
Where to buy it
Online in the official shop, Via, before you drive onto a road that needs it. Routava adds nothing; you pay the operator.
How to check your car
Routava asks a vignette seller's check with the Swiss customs (BAZG). It shows only e-vignettes whose owner made them publicly viewable, so a vignette bought elsewhere may not show.
Motorway and expressway crossings
Routava's map holds 272 roads into Switzerland; these are the motorways and expressways. It knows the others too, down to country lanes and ferries.
