Hi Folks. At relatively short notice I'm joining up on a mate's trip and travelling down to Italy to meet up, before a week or so travelling around the Italian and French Alps. He reminded me that I might need at vignette for Austria and a Crit'Air vignette (French 'clean air' sticker) for France. I don't need the former as I'm just crossing Austria and am keeping off motorways, but the Crit'Air vignette is a new one on me. Various sites have various info on this, but just wondering if anyone on here has bothered with the Crit'Air sticker, if it is something that is diligently enforced (I know it's major towns and cities only), or, indeed, if our bikes (I ride a 2016 Iconic RS - which I think is Euro3 category??) actually need one? That's a bit less clear.... |

Get one, it's about 5 euros and removes any anxiety as they are ramping up coverage and enforcement. Make sure you use the official .gouv site not a rip off third party. Even if you do not have time to get the sticker, you will be emailed a pdf to save on a phone. Once registered the certificate is valid for ever Spam goes here |

the Austrian motorway vignette is about 7 euros for 10 days. It can be bought at border crossings and most fuel stations. It is therefore easy to get one if needed e.g. if plans change due to weather making the original route over a pass difficult and you want to take the Brenner or A10 motorway to Italy.

I'll just add and agree the vignettes are well worth the 'lack of headache' if you're ever caught without one.

I’ve just got mine, took about a week, €4,60 I think. Use the French Govt web site there are some dodgy ones that will over charge you |
