Swiss accommodation - cheapish??

Planning a few passes in Switzerland this year, and a couple of nights, is accommodation expensive? Are there cheaper pensions etc?

Just don't want this part of the trip to bankrupt me

Mate, it's Switzerland.... They even charge you for sneezing over there....

It's only a small country, stay in France/Germany/Italy and cross back in everyday

Just got back from there, my advice fuel up before Switzerland ride through, get out without stopping. Expensive rooms, food and beer, quite a lot smelt like sweaty feet to me. That was Vevey, between Montreux and Lausanne, maybe just not a good place to stop. The rest of Switzerland may be lovely, although I'll be staying in Italy and France.

Dunno where you lot go, but i found Switzerland no dearer than the UK. We stayed in Lucerne which was stunning.

I have to go to Baden quite often and don't find the local hotels/bars too expensive. Then again I am used to being mugged in Paris

I stayed with my mate just outside Zurich so it was really cheap!
Booze and grub equivalent to UK.
Don't forget your carnet from the gas station over the border - and the speed cams are head on because all the Swiss argue about who was driving. Get a tinted visor and go like hell!
