Driving a Campervan around Zurich

A CHF 40 motorway vignette is required for vehicles up to 3.5 t and is valid for fourteen months.
Heavy motorhomes over 3.5 t are subject to the Swiss heavy-vehicle fee (LSVA), charged based on emissions and distance driven.
The A1 northern bypass and Gubrist Tunnel have heavy traffic during peak hours; travel before 07:00 or after 09:30.
Zurich does not have a permanent low-emission zone, but pollution alerts can cause lower speed limits and bans on older engines.
Park-and-ride sites such as Sihlquai and Altstetten often offer combined parking and public-transport tickets that reach the old town in minutes.
Alpine mountain passes such as Klausen and Gotthard close after early snowfall; check TCS live road reports before travelling.
Overnight parking rules vary by municipality; it is often restricted to designated motorhome areas—always check local signs and regulations before staying overnight.
