    Hi there…new to the forum…so here goes..

    planning first trip to Switzerland in our Motorhome…as noted above we weigh over 3.5 ton. 3.65 ton to be exact. It looks like a vignette won’t suffice…can someone please direct me to a website in English that can advise re costs etc.Or explain in this forum…The first visit will only be for one day passing through….the second, visit three weeks later, will be for approximately two weeks.

    thanks in advance

    Jones

    Suzanne;

    thanks for the speedy reply…yes I had got that far already from google…but the info I was looking for, ie the rates charged , is apparently in sections 15.91 & 15.92 which the website proudly announces are only available in German, Italian and French….??? Does anyone know where they are written in English???

    regards

    Hello Jones,

    I have tried searching for the documents in English and unfortunately they are only available in the official languages in Switzerland. I think that section/document 15.91 pertains to your motorhome, and 15.92 is for commercial transport vehicles. The document 15.91 is divided up in payments for: daily, monthly, or yearly payments in accordance to the type of vehicle you have. I think it’s best to directly contact the offices for futher assistance:

    I hope that helps!

    Good luck,

    Suzanne

    Suzanne,

    final word…. followed your info…eventually got to a webpage titled…Clearing Swiss customs without delay…and on page 33 the info is there… turns out if you just type in (clearing Swiss customs without delay)it pops up…who knew??

    thanks again…couldn’t have got there so quickly without your help…

    take care!!
