Correct me, if I´m wrong, but I think the Swiss vignette is always for 1 year (and in fact it is from 1st December till the end of January the year after).
They claim it should be seen like a "road tax" - but personally I dont get it, why tourists should pay the same as locals, even if they are going to use the roads there for possibly no more than 1 day per year, and the locals use every day. Sounds like a rip-off to me. So I´ll take my time, and curve through the alpine passes (which is not a bad option at all!!).... right now this could be a bit challenging, though, as most of them will be closed until late spring or early summer.
But it´s a small country, and another way to not tolerate this is to go via France or via Austria (both of which will require payment for motorways, but not for the whole year).
