Can I use this travel adapter in Switzerland?
A traveler is just 8 days away from their trip to Switzerland and is seeking advice on whether their travel adaptor will work in the country. They have already identified the necessary specifics regarding their device’s plug type and need confirmation on compatibility with Swiss sockets.
- Use a type J adaptor for Switzerland as European adapters might not be suitable.
- Ensure your device can handle 230V, as many chargers work, but some devices like hairdryers might not.
- Consult previous threads for more information on adapters and travel tips.

Dear MySwiss Alps members,
Time flies and we are 8 days away from our trip! 🤩
Could you help me to check the travel adaptor in the attached picture and advise if it is suitable for use at Switzerland, please?
Thank you!

Adapters for Switzerland are type J. “European” adapters are not what you want.
Yes that should be suitable. All Swiss sockets now have the ‘lozenge’ shape, and your adapter appears to have the right ‘lozenge’ shape
We have discussed this extensively in the past, perhaps the mods could dig out one of the threads
You haven’t told us what country’s plugs you plan to use with the adaptor. I use American (US) devices to plug into Swiss outlets with adaptors. Your picture doesn’t show the female end.
Apologies for the missing information.
We will be using Singapore devicea. Have attached pictures of the travel adaptor again. Thank you!
Hi Ketoeato,
Yes, this adaptor is compatible with Swiss plugs.

just keep in mind, that we have 230V instead of 110V, make sure your device can handle it (most chargers do, but not the hairdryer or toaster).
