From Zurich, Geneva, Interlaken and Zermatt, Switzerland is a country you cross rather than sit still in — and you need data the whole way.
Network coverage in Switzerland
The plan uses the Sunrise and Salt networks in Switzerland — local infrastructure, local speeds, no roaming detour. Switzerland sits outside the EU roaming zone, so a travel eSIM avoids the surcharges on most European plans. Alpine tunnels and cable cars drop the signal briefly. Trains to Jungfraujoch keep a connection at 3,454 m, one of Europe's highest covered points.
How much data do you need?
Most travellers use between 500 MB and 1 GB a day for navigation, messaging and photos. Short city breaks fit comfortably in a fixed data pack; longer trips with heavy map use are cheaper on unlimited.

- No contract, no deposit and no roaming bill afterwards
Setting up your Switzerland eSIM
Install the eSIM before departure and it stays inactive until it finds a network in Switzerland. Your home number keeps working alongside it, which matters for two-factor codes and boarding passes.
It suits short city breaks as much as long stays: tourists comparing routes on the move, business travellers who need a stable connection between meetings, and remote workers who cannot afford to lose access on arrival.
Prepaid, no contract and no deposit: a straightforward way to have mobile data in Switzerland from the moment you arrive.
