In Switzerland, the power plugs and sockets are a bit different from most of Europe. Here’s what you need to know:
Plug Type #
Type C – two round pins (common in Europe).
Type J – three round pins in a triangular configuration (the Swiss standard).
Most Swiss sockets accept both Type C and Type J plugs.
Voltage & Frequency #
Voltage: 230 V
Frequency: 50 Hz
This is the standard European voltage, so most modern chargers and electronics (laptops, phone chargers) work without a problem.
Adapter Tip #
If your plug is not Type C or J (e.g., US, UK, or AU plugs), you’ll need a plug adapter.
No voltage converter is usually needed if your devices support 100–240 V.
