It was fun driving from Paris to Zurich, we did it on 28th December 2011, started early morning from Paris and reached Zurich around 12.30 (6 and half hours). We had a quick break of getting gasoline and coffee in between. Road is good, GPS found us 100Km shorter route which did not reduced the time but gave us much beautiful drive than highway, and u can drive over 100km on that route too. U can see Alps 30 min before entering Swiss boarders from the distance and when we crossed Swiss boarder every thing change u can see hills both side of the road very close and u cross 3 tunnels long ones and we saw light snow on the distant hills and heavy snow on distant, my 9 years son Chanakya shouted see lot of snow. (Coming from Costa Rica, so bit crazy about snow) and in less than 30 min we were in Zurich.
Be careful in France u normally drive around 140Km but as u get in swiss boarder ur limit is 100km.

Hi
Passing through, may stop for a day or two, in our 6 tonne motorhome in January 2012 but having difficulty trying to establish how much the road toll will be and can we purchase before arrival?

We will be travelling from Innsbruck to Verona the first week of July, and are considering taking a longer route (along A13) through Switzerland. How long will it take to travel from north to south through Switzerland on A13? Is the road scenic and worth the extra miles? Is there likelyto be a lot of traffic on a Friday? Any recommendations for places to stop along the way to do some short hikes?

Hello you can buy the Vignette for 40 swiss francs at the border station when you enter Switzerland, it is valid for 1 year. Ensure you do buy one as when you leave Switzerland you may be stopped and have to pay the original fee plus a fine for not having the Vignette.

We are currently vacationing near Milan and are considering travel to Geneva by car for a few days next week. We hold passports from USA. Do we need anything additional to enter the country?
