The Landecker bypass tunnel requires a vignette. If you don't have a vignette for the Austrian motorways, you should drive through the city of Landeck. Attention: The official signs to the Reschenpass lead through the tunnel (so disregard and drive straight ahead towards Zams). There are often controls at the tunnel.
