Hi Chris, welcome to MySwissAlps!
Yes, as far as I know that’s possible. UK citizens don’t need a type C/Schengen visa for a short stay of up to 90 days, nor a type D/national visa for a long stay of more than 90 days. This is different if you intend to study or work in Switzerland. In that case you may need to apply for a permit.
