Weather all year round
Switzerland has very different climates depending on the region. The Alps divide the country in two: in the north, the climate is rather temperate and continental. In the south, the climate is much milder, and you can feel a Mediterranean influence. In summer, temperatures rise on average to around 25/30°C. In winter, they are around 0°, and snow is frequent. Of course, an alpine climate prevails in high mountain areas and considers that we lose about 1°C every 150 m

Budget
The Swiss currency is the Swiss franc. While it is possible to pay in euros in most cases, it is preferable to carry Swiss francs (which can be collected from a distributor). It will be cheaper for you and there is no shortage of banks in Switzerland! If the prices include the service, leave a tip is frequent (around 10%).
On the budget side, Switzerland has the reputation of being an expensive country: a reputation that is well deserved, given the high prices
Health
You do not run any risk when you go to Switzerland. Just make sure your vaccinations are up to date (DT Polio, etc.). In case of illness, it is necessary to contact the French consulate. He will be in charge of helping you, accompanying you and providing you with a list of French-speaking doctors. In the event of a serious problem, he or she also notifies the family and decides on repatriation. Switzerland has a very good reputation in terms of healthcare, even if prices are obviously expensive... Traditional medicines (headaches, stomach aches, lozenges...) are available without a prescription in Switzerland. There are of course exceptions but they do not concern the usual medicines; for others and treatments, take what you need with you.
