Switzerland has several municipalities that banned private cars, mostly in touristy places. Theses are advertised on the Swiss tourism website:

Some of these are member of a Verein to support their common interests

Now this is great and these places are thriving without all the nuisance from cars (probably saving quite a bit of money with less wear to infrastructure and all associated costs) but it’s only a few dots on the map. Which should be the next ones?
Here are a few suggestions (criteria are: has a train station, is sufficiently known to attract lots of tourists)
- Grindelwald
- Andermatt
- Engelberg
- Gstaad
Maybe even Interlaken? Other suggestions?

All of them
Interlaken would probably work quite well if we exclude Matten and Unterseen and the main road to Unterseen. There isnt a lot of traffic or people coming by car in the areas that would be affected by this change anyways.
