I got a list of European toll roads and charges on the AA site (search aa toll roads). It is brilliant for planning your route.

We did that 2 years ago and it took a long time to get into Switzerland using the motorways in France so I wouldn't try to avoid it tbh. If you want to use motorways in Switzerland don't forget you need an annual permit.

We didn't get that as we were only visiting family for a few days but we did struggle to navigate on the Swiss roads - some of the things they called roads appeared to be dirt tracks to our untrained eye. Doing it again this year, possibly on the way home. Still trying to decide.
