Questions Learners Have About Snow Chains & Mountain Roads

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Snow Chains & Mountain Roads, including how questions match the official theory exam in Switzerland, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

When are snow chains mandatory in Switzerland?

Snow chains are legally mandatory in Switzerland only when indicated by a specific 'Schneeketten obligatorisch' (snow chains obligatory) traffic sign, which is a blue circular sign with a snow chain symbol. Otherwise, carrying them is recommended but not legally required.

What is the maximum speed when driving with snow chains?

When driving with snow chains, the recommended maximum speed is generally 50 km/h. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific chains as well.

Can I use snow chains on summer tires?

No, it is strongly advised against using snow chains on summer tires. Snow chains should only be mounted on winter tires to ensure optimal safety and grip in snowy or icy conditions, as winter tires are designed to work in conjunction with chains.

Are there alternatives to snow chains for specific situations?

Yes, in some cases, textile traction aids (such as Autosock) are permitted as an alternative to snow chains. These are approved for use in Switzerland and can be suitable for certain snowy or icy road conditions.

Where should I fit snow chains if required?

You should fit snow chains safely at the side of the road, ensuring you do not obstruct traffic and are visible to other road users, especially before a sign indicating snow chains are obligatory. Choose a flat, safe spot away from active traffic lanes.
