    Hi Marv,

    Welcome to MySwissAlps!

    Sorry that you had to postpone your trip. Hopefully this year we could all travel again with less restrictions.

    A motorcycle trip sounds really exciting. I would definitely recommend taking the scenic roads as detailed in the following sample itinerary: http://www.myswissalps.com/plantrip/doityourself/sampleitineraries/passroadsdrivingtour

    Hi Marv,

    Yes, you do need a motorway vignette for your trip if you plan to use the motorways. The vignette cost CHF40 for one year. You can find more details here: http://www.myswissalps.com/motorwayvignette
