Switzerland enforces strict rules for motorhome travelers. EU citizens need only a passport or ID card for entry; no visa is required. A motorway vignette costing 40 CHF (about 44 euros) is mandatory for motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes; heavier vehicles must pay the PSVA heavy goods tax. Winter tires are strongly recommended from November 1 to April 30, with chains required in mountain areas. Wild camping is banned in some cantons and only tolerated for one night without setting up external equipment. The country has 131 service areas and 373 campsites, with overnight fees ranging from 20 to 35 CHF. An adapter for Type J electrical sockets is necessary.
