Personal comments:

Absolutely stunning country, but very expensive! The motorways are surprisingly hilly and we struggled a little to keep to the minimum speed limit. Loved the northern side of Lake Geneva and when we broke down, the rescue company were very friendly and kind (although we don't think they're fans of older vehicles!). Found plenty of free overnight stops
