Hi

I’ve been googling but so confused! Hope you can help. We are staying in Arosa next week and are from England. Do we need to bring special power adapters with us? We have the normal European ones but I seem to be reading that we need something different.

Many thanks

The Swiss now almost exclusively use what is known as a ‘type J’ plug. It is hexagonal and the socket is recessed so old fashioned ordinary European 2 pin will not work

You need an up to date multiple adapter for all countries (these include the Swiss ‘J’) or a UK- Swiss only

Boots (especially at airports) and outdoor shops do them
