Go to Amazon and search for converter for Switzerland. The ones for the country are different from all others. There have been posts about this and some folks say you can also use the European type but these may not work everywhere in Switzerland. I have used the “Swiss” converters and never had a problem. There are converters at Amazon (and hence elsewhere on the web) that include USB as well as the US 3 prong plug. Here’s one.

Just get a multiway adapter and you will have no problems. I bought a new one recently for a trip in the ‘opposite direction’ as we are going to US/Canada this summer

The one I have is similar to this:

I wonder about the multi-way adapter. The Amazon site doesn’t mention type J for Switzerland in the description for this adapter.

I am in Switzerland right now and visiting from USA. I bought type J adapter from amazon and it works here.

Hello Rluds,

Unfortunately I don’t know, as I always just travel with an international adaptor and the forum is mainly focussed on Switzerland.

Maybe other travellers have more input to share.

Best,
Steph
