This topic is now covered in our full, regularly updated guide: Coworking Spaces in Switzerland and Best Cities in Switzerland for Digital Nomads and Expats.
I’m Laura, a travel writer based in Zürich, and Switzerland is the place I know better than anywhere else. I moved here 9 years ago and haven’t stopped exploring it since.
Over the past 9 years I’ve made 40+ trips across every Swiss canton — from the Italian-speaking south of Ticino to the remote valleys of Graubünden to the lake towns of Romandy. I speak German, French and English fluently, which means I can read the local newspapers, argue with train conductors, and actually understand what the mountain guide is telling you when the weather turns.
Switzerland is a deceptively complex destination: four languages, 26 cantons, wildly different regional cultures, and a transport network so intricate it takes years to properly understand. I write to demystify all of it — whether you’re planning your first visit to Zermatt, deciding between Zürich and Geneva for a city break, or figuring out how to live here as a digital nomad or remote worker.
I also cover Central Europe for travellers who want to venture beyond the obvious — particularly the Czech Republic, Austria and the Alpine arc connecting Switzerland to its neighbours.
All About Swiss is my home base, where I publish in-depth guides to Swiss travel, life and culture. If it involves Switzerland, I’ve probably written about it, or I’m about to.
Great article! It’s really helpful to see such a detailed breakdown of the communities and practicalities for digital nomads in Switzerland. The point about budgeting for mandatory health insurance is crucial. Speaking of health, I’m curious how digital nomads in Switzerland typically handle travel health preparation, especially given the high cost of living. Do they rely on local doctors, or are there specific resources they use? Sorry for the link, but I’m referring to a guide like this one https://pillintrip.com/ru/article/how-to-stay-healthy-while-traveling-essential-guide-for-digital-nomads to better explain what kind of health planning I mean. Would love to hear about the community’s experience with this!
