Switzerland entry requirements
British nationals do not need a visa to travel to Switzerland.

Switzerland health
Travellers to Switzerland should obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which does not replace travel insurance, but allows you to receive emergency treatment on the same terms as a Swiss person. The EHIC can be obtained for free from the Post Office.

Travellers should ensure they are covered by adequate travel insurance.
