Digital Vignettes for Switzerland

Digital Vignette Switzerland – simple, fast and eco-friendly

Are you planning a trip to Switzerland by car, motorcycle, or camper van? You will need a valid vignette for the Swiss motorways and national roads. The digital vignette (an e-vignette) offers a practical alternative to the conventional adhesive vignette. It is fully electronic, conveniently available online, and registered directly to your license plate number.

Advantages of the digital vignette in Switzerland:

• Easy online purchase: available quickly and around the clock.
• No waiting time: digital registration directly to your vehicle registration number.
• Flexible and paperless: No need for a sticker, and no hassle removing it when it expires.
• Validity: The digital annual vignette for Switzerland is always valid for 14 months: from 1 December of the previous year to 31 January of the following year.

What types of Swiss digital vignettes are there?

Switzerland currently only offers an annual vignette:

• Digital Annual Vignette: Valid for all vehicles up to a total weight of 3.5 tonnes (cars, motorcycles, motorhomes). Day, weekly or monthly vignettes are not currently available.

Are there any route-related special tolls in Switzerland?

Unlike Austria, Switzerland has no additional route-related motorways or special tolls for tunnels or passes. The digital annual vignette covers all highways and national roads in the country which are subject to tolls.

Exceptions are car transport services subject to tolls (such as Lötschberg, Furka, or Vereina). These rail connections are not part of the regular motorway network and require separate payment.

When does the digital vignette become valid?

The digital annual Swiss motorway tax sticker is valid immediately from the registered start date. When you purchase it, you can set your desired validity date, which is ideal for preparing for your trip.
