Saturday 6th September 2025 – Camping Gerbe, Mierskappel, Switzerland

 

On the road before 09:00, we stopped for cheap Luxembourg diesel (€1.44/l) before crossing the border back into France. It was a much better journey than yesterday – lots of motorway driving but no delays. Lovely scenery kept us interested and there were many vineyards after we exited the Colmar Tunnel into Alsace-Lorraine. We were happy to pay the €10 toll for the tunnel to avoid the longer Colmar Pass that was popular with motorcyclists .
I had purchased a Swiss e-Vignette yesterday that is registered to the vehicle registration rather than having to purchase a physical sticker at the border. This made the entry into Switzerland very simple and we were soon on our way through lovely scenery to our campsite at Mierskappel. The campsite is a working farm and we received a very warm welcome when we arrived. The pitches were very cramped, reminiscent of Italian sites but we were only staying for one night, so that wasn’t a problem. The shower block was definitely of a good standard and there was a restaurant if we wanted it.
