Hi all,

My husband and I will be arriving in Zurich on 5 July 2018 and leaving from Geneva to UK on 10 Jul. Only 5 days there and we have rented a car travel between cities and scenery spots.

Plan agenda :

Stay one nite at Zurich on 5 Jul

Drive to Lucerne on 6 Jul

Interlaken/Grindelwald/ from 7-9 Jul

Drive to Geneva on 9 Jul

I learnt from the internet that we need to buy motorway vignette online, is it true?

Also, driving in Switzerland needs to be careful for speeding as it is seriously fine.

Can we drive to the scenery spot by car? Or we can only take train or tram to the spot like Jungfran or Matterhorn

Thanks for the advice and guidance in advance.

Hi Mcmug and welcome to MySwissAlps!

• If you are renting the car in Switzerland then you don’t worry about the Vignette. The car will have one
• Correct, speeding in Switzerland comes with very high fines
• You can’t drive to most of the mountains no. You will have to park the car and take a train or cable car depending on the mountain.
• Here are the routes to get to Jungfraujoch: https://www.myswissalp s.com/jungfraujoch/get tingthere & for the Matterhorn you can visit Gornergrat by train to get the best views: https://www.myswissalp s.com/gornergrat/getti ngthere.
  You’ll have to park your car in Täsch and train to Zermatt as well as it and some other towns are car-free. Read about travel by car or train here: https://www.myswissalp s.com/carversustrain

Thanks Lucas for your advice. Really I don’t need to worry about the Vignette as it will come with the car. I may need to double check with the car company. Seems I don’t recall the vignette is included when I made the booking.

Too bad the car can’t go to most mountain and will check the link you sent for more information.
