Can anyone point to the prices for MHs too heavy to buy the 3.5t vignette to travel on the Swiss motorways please.

All of these charges have to be paid in advance.
Daily charge is CHF 3.25 - you can choose the number of days.
Monthly charge is CHF 58.50 - you can choose the number of months.
1 year is CHF 650.
A ten day pass is CHF 32.50. The days don't have to be consecutive, you just have to enter the day(s) on which you will be on Swiss roads before you arrive.
Hope this helps.

Hi Brian
Found this info elsewhere........
Vehicles up to 3.5 tons must buy a Vignette costing 40 Swiss Francs and valid for 14 months (1 Dec 2009 - 31 Jan 2011) caravanners/trailers have to buy two.
Payment is easy with Euros, Sterling, Credit Cards or Swiss currency accepted.
If you pay for the vignette with Euros or Sterling you will get Swiss Francs in change.
The vignette can be bought in advance at service areas on main routes approaching the border.
If your motorhome is above the 3500kg weight limit you will need a special permit for one day (3.25 SF), 10 days (32.50), one month (58.50) or a year (650.00). Just make sure you put the dates in for the days that you are travelling if you have the 10 day/monthly/yearly permit. There's a minimum charge so don't buy a one day pass.
The ten days don't have to be taken consecutively, so the pass is good for a return journey too, provided it's within one year.
Excellent value, as the motorways include the 10-mile St Gothard Tunnel through the Alps into Italy!
If you are travelling mid week be prepared to wait as you use the same counter as the truckers.
Hope this helps.

Why the hell are these charges simply not added to the cost of fuel?????
Or am I missing something.......
In the case of Switzerland you are, half a tank will take you from one end to 'tother so they'd get nowt.
The other argument being that may folk never travel on motorways.

excellent point , so why doesn't the UK levy a charge on foreign trucks, ?
Many of them have long range tanks and buy no fuel in the UK so travel free on our Motorways.

I've had the pleasure of riding through most countries in Europe now and Switzerland is the least friendly - to bikers anyway.
But Spain is the absolute daddy and I can't wait to go there in a MH.
I don't know, but it must a real problem or else "they" would have done it long ago. It could be why road pricing keeps rearing it's ugly head, that would do it.
