Hi Cephas,
this depends on the (plated) MTPLM of your van. If it is 3.5 tons or less, then you can buy the vignette at the border or at most petrol stations just before the Swiss border.
If MTPLM is more than 3.5 tons then you have to pay the HGV road tax in Switzerland, no matter whether you are using motorways or not!
Best Regards,
Gerhard
