Driving an RV around Zurich
- A CHF 40 highway vignette is required for vehicles up to 3.5 metric tons (approx. 7,700 lbs) and is valid for fourteen months.
- Heavy RVs over 3.5 metric tons (approx. 7,700 lbs) 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 7:00 a.m. or after 9:30 a.m.
- 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 traveling.
- Overnight parking rules vary by municipality; it is often restricted to designated RV areas—always check local signs and regulations before staying overnight.
