Winter equipment

Although is not date determined, drivers must have it in case of severe weather conditions. Due to environmental laws, roads in Switzerland are not salted during winter, so mountain passes and roads often have layers of old snow. For this reason we highly recomend winter tires and additionaly snow chains.
