There are many ways to find the right apartment in Switzerland.

In short:

1. Mountain accommodation: Directly on the mountain with full board, prices between 300 and 900 CHF. Ideal for those seeking peace and quiet, but the last gondola to the village leaves at 5 pm.
2. Valley accommodation: Cheaper options in the valley from CHF 400, mostly as shared rooms. Studios for couples or girlfriends cost around CHF 900.

We – the ASVN Alpine Club – also have club accommodation that we can offer you. Simply contact us.

• No double taxation: If you work in Switzerland, you do not normally have to pay tax again in your home country (e.g. Germany, Austria). This is due to agreements between these countries and Switzerland.
• Withholding tax for non-Swiss citizens: This tax system applies to people who work in Switzerland but do not have Swiss citizenship. Withholding tax is deducted directly from your income and paid to the tax authorities.
• Lower tax rate: The tax rate in Switzerland is often lower than in Germany. In the canton of Berne, for example, the rate is around 10% of income.

No, you don’t necessarily have to have a Swiss bank account to join us
We are not a bank, we promise! Our employers are quite adept at this,
to regulate international payments. But, quite honestly, the banks sometimes demand a small
“Fees” for international transfers.

Here’s the joke: if you have a Swiss bank account, such as with EKI-
Bank, then you can avoid these fees. Plus, just between you and me, it’s pretty cool to have a

Swiss bank account, right? Who would have thought that a bank account could also be a
can be a stylish accessory?

So, you can work without a Swiss bank account, but we as an association would
definitely recommend. It could not only save you money, but also add a little Swiss flair to your life!

To get your own slice of Swiss heaven in the form of a bank account, you need a
a few things, but don’t worry, it’s not a rocket launch!

1. identity card or passport: First of all, you will need your best friend, your
Identity card or passport to show who you are. No disguises allowed!

2. employment contract: We’re all about work, so your employment contract is your ticket to work.
Account. Show the bank that you’re hard at work earning money.

3rd proof of residence: Make yourself at home! You need proof of
your residence status in Switzerland, i.e. a registration certificate or similar.

4. address wizardry: You must provide the bank with your contact details in Switzerland, be it
your home address or the address of your Swiss chalet (we wish we had all of them!)
one!).

5. bank forms: There are a few forms to juggle, but don’t throw in the towel.

We know you can do it!

6. minimum deposit: Some banks require a minimum deposit, but you can set this as your minimum deposit.

See our contribution to the Swiss Bank Account Party!

7. personal presence: And last but not least – make your way to the bank! You must

in person to open the account. Don’t worry, they won’t bite!

Remember, the requirements may vary from bank to bank, but it’s nothing that a

can’t cope with a little Swiss precision. Good luck and on to your own Swiss

Bank account adventure!

The salary for seasonal workers in the Swiss catering industry is attractive, mainly due to the country’s high cost of living. As a beginner, you already earn an impressive CHF 22 net per hour, which corresponds to around CHF 3,000 net per month. With experience and good salary negotiations, this salary can even rise to up to CHF 4,700 net per month. Tips are the icing on the cake: In summer, good waiters can earn up to an additional CHF 2,000 per month, in winter around CHF 1,000. In summary, the gastronomy industry in Switzerland not only offers a unique working environment, but also a rewarding salary, whether you are a beginner or an experienced professional. 🍽️🏔️💰

EU/EFTA citizens can work in Switzerland without a visa. This means that citizens of the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), which includes countries such as Germany, Austria, France and many others, can generally work in Switzerland without a visa.

The winter season: 01. Dec. – April 15

In Switzerland, the winter season usually begins in December and lasts until mid-April. This time is ideal for those who love snow and winter sports, with activities such as skiing and cozy hours in alpine huts. This is a peak period with high demand for seasonal workers.

The summer season: June 01 – Sep 30.

The summer season then starts in June and ends at the end of September. These months attract hikers, mountain bikers and nature lovers and offer a wide range of outdoor activities in the fresh mountain air. Note, however, that the Alpine weather can be unpredictable and the exact times of the season can vary. Whether winter or summer – every season in Switzerland promises unique experiences and adventures. 🏔️🚴‍♀️⛷️🌞

Public transport in Switzerland is as reliable and well-organized as the clockwork for which the country is known.

The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) offers an excellent network of trains, buses and mountain railroads that will take you to the most remote mountain regions. The trains are clean, punctual and offer spectacular views of the Swiss countryside. Ticket prices may seem high at first glance, but there are discounts for Swiss and local residents, such as the Half-Fare travelcard or the GA travelcard (GEA), which significantly reduce costs.

If you work in Switzerland and stay in the mountains, many employers offer discounted ski passes or free public transportation as part of your terms of employment. This is not only practical, but also saves costs.

In short, Switzerland is a paradise for public transportation, and you’ll be surprised how much more punctual it is than in some other countries – it might even be the secret to Swiss precision! 🚆🕰️😄

Don’t worry, in Switzerland you are well connected even in the most remote mountain regions!

Most hotels, inns and restaurants in the tourist regions offer free Wi-Fi for their guests. In towns and larger villages, you will also find numerous public Wi-Fi hotspots, which can often be used free of charge.

If you want to stay in Switzerland for longer, it may make sense to choose a Swiss mobile provider and purchase a SIM card. This gives you high-speed access to the mobile Internet. There are various providers such as Aldi Mobile with low-cost prepaid tariffs, which can be particularly attractive for foreigners. You can stay in touch with family and friends and find out about the best hiking trails or ski resorts.

The good news is that Switzerland is one of the countries with the best Internet coverage in the world. So you’ll have no problem going online, whether it’s to keep in touch with family and friends or to find out about the best leisure activities. Switzerland also keeps you well connected in the mountains! 🏞️📱🌐

One of our values at Schoggi, Money & Cheese is honesty and transparency. That’s why we have some honest insights into seasonal work in Switzerland that we don’t want to withhold from you:

1. Mountain air: Yes, some of our work locations are so high that you can almost touch the clouds. Unless you’re Superman, it can be breathtaking at first. But don’t worry, you’ll soon get used to the thinner air – and the view from up there is priceless!
2. Physical commitment: Remember that the motto “No Pain, No Gain” often applies in the catering industry. You could shovel snow, scrub tables and maybe even juggle plates. It’s like a constant workout, but remember: you burn calories to enjoy more cheese fondue!
3. Tone of voice: In gastronomy, the tone can sometimes be rough, but it’s more like a Swiss welcome. You’ll soon realize that your colleagues are still friendly.
4. Nights in the bar: The Swiss answer to relaxation after work? A few cups of Lutz coffee or mulled wine in the bar. With just a few hours of sleep, you can start the next day fresh and cheerful.
5. Reward: But the best is saved for last: you will not only be rewarded physically, but also financially. Your bank account will thank you, and the feeling of skiing down the slopes after work is simply fantastic.

For experienced restaurateurs and professionals who have already worked in Germany or Austria on season or in gastronomy, Switzerland will be like an adventure on your left ass cheek – a challenge that you will master with a smile! 🏔️🍽️🛷

Ah, the question of money! Take a look at these Swiss financial secrets:

Gross vs. net: In Switzerland, we give you the gross, but don’t panic, it’s like a surprise candy – after the deductions, there’s still a sweet taste of success waiting for you!

Taxes: The amount of tax varies from canton to canton, but in general the withholding tax for foreigners is around 10 percent of your income. Not bad, is it? Chocolate can be more expensive!

Social security: Yes, you will also have to pay social security contributions, including AHV (old age and survivors’ insurance, around 5-8%), ALV (unemployment insurance, around 1-2%) and SUVA (Swiss Accident Insurance Fund, around 1%). It’s like a ticket to a club with Swiss health insurance and pension cover – you’ll be well looked after!

: Don’t worry, even as a foreigner you won’t be taken advantage of. The deductions are similar to those for our Swiss friends. About 17-19 percent of your income will disappear, but you’ll still have enough left over to enjoy the Swiss beauty. As an example calculation: CHF 4700 is about CHF 3500 net after deductions.

Please note that the exact percentages and details may vary depending on the canton and your personal situation. But at the end of the day, you’ll have enough in your pocket to browse the Swiss Alps! 💰🇨🇭

The thirteenth monthly salary, also known as the “Christmas bonus” or “bonus Christmas cake”, is an additional salary that you receive in Switzerland. At our establishments, this bonus can be served in various ways. Some pay it in small monthly bites, others wait until the seasonal gastronomy party is over and you go home. You can be sure that this bonus is a sweet treat that makes working in Switzerland even more delicious! 🍰💰🇨🇭
