Food and Drink
There’s nothing to mark out Switzerland produce as particularly risky to general health, in fact food hygiene standards are very high across the country. The tap water is also safe to drink. However, resist the temptation to drink from streams or lakes, no matter how clean they look, as they may contain pollutants.
Other Risks
No immunisations are required to enter Switzerland, although it is advisable to make sure your standard vaccinations like tetanus, diphtheria, mumps, measels, rubella and polio are up to date before travelling.
