You have to stop and purchase a vignette at the border and make sure you fill in where you are each day, found mine from my last trip today , when i was having a tidy up .
I believe from friends that live in Switzerland they don’t accommodate for Motorhome’s and what they do have are few and far between.
As for your Train Trip Tourist Info
Will or should put you on the right track
Apols for the pun ...
Enjoy your trip

Over 3500 kg you get a card you have to fill in every day you are in Switzerland. Applies to all roads and even if you are on a camp site.Fill in what ?

Well I had to pay 40 CHF to get the vignette in Switzerland and I'm sub 3.5 tonnes. At the border, no choice.Just to clarify, assuming you're under 3500kgs (looks like yes if that's your van in your profile pic) then you only need a vignette to use the autoroutes, other wise not needed.

They could only use sign language as they didn't speak any English. It wasn't an auto route but I hadn't realised the option but obviously did use an autoroute at some time during my transit.Then you either came in via an Autoroute or when asked if you're going to use them you said yes, no need for a Vignette on normal roads. The guys at the douane dish them out like sweets, many seem to buy them.....
Same in most European countries including France, the limit is the limit no tolerance.Beware speeding , our friends in Germany warned they are very strict, as low a 1kph can be penalised.

Re the Glacier Express, it will be easier to start from Brig as you can get there with the van and park easily. At Zermatt you'd need to leave the van at Täsch and then take the dedicated train in.

ive booked a campsite for the first two days at £40 a night for peace of mind however I expect to stealth on industrilal sites when I can find them, thanks for the tip about Zermatt.

Or try Camping Breithorn about 6 mins bike ride further down the valley - basic facilities but half the price on ACSI and amazing views.Camping Jungfrau in Lauterbrunnen will be open for you, loads to see and do around there.
The problem is you may then be forced to travel............
We stayed a couple of nights at Camping Jungfrau last year. An amazing site and off season and with an ASCI card it was a shade over £30 a night from memory. But at the "wrong" time of the year you could pay twice that.I don’t find it that expensive tbh, when the euro was 1.4 and you crossed the border, yes there was a difference but now, I hardly blink an eye especially if you are coming in from France.
One thing about Switzerland, the currency is stable so you know what you’re getting.

My understanding is the Vignette is only required if you intend using the motorways. National roads are free. The vignette is 40€ for cars and Motor homes. They are valid from the 1 st Jan to 31st Dec so if your travelling over Christmas and New year you will need one for 2018 and one for 2019. I recently drove to Geneva airport from Lyon. I had to buy the vignette for the last 4 kilometers of the Swiss motorway. Alternatively I could have turned off the motorway and taken the national roads which was another 55 minutes each way but would have been free of charge.Well I had to pay 40 CHF to get the vignette in Switzerland and I'm sub 3.5 tonnes.
