Kinda.
Switzerland is extremely clean, orderly, and wealthy. There are tons of beautiful and spectacular sites to see and visit. The problem with Switzerland is that it’s a bit like living in a giant HOA full of the nosiest and most passive aggressive neighbors you can imagine. In Switzerland, someone is always watching, and nobody there likes direct confrontation.
In any kind of disagreement, expect the cops to be called. Your neighbors get annoyed because you have a lot of people over? Cops. Making too much noise on the patio? Cops. A gum wrapper falls out of your pocket when you're pulling your phone out? Cops. It's that ridiculous, and fines are the Swiss solution for practically everything.
I lived in Austria for a little while, and had Austrian friends, German friends, Slovenian friends, Italian friends, Hungarian friends, etc. I can't say that I had any Swiss friends. There were a few Swiss who pretty consistently hung out with my group of friends, but I don't feel like I ever really knew any of them. I had no warm feelings about any of them, and I never had the impression that any of them felt that way about me. They were detached, distant, and not particularly friendly.
About the best way I know how to describe the Swiss is that they seem like the sort of people who would wear a suit and tie to bed. They're so painfully stuffy and vanilla. They make Upper Austrians (a people often remarked to be cold and standoffish) seem warm and whimsical.
Switzerland is the last country in Europe I'd want to visit or live in, and believe me, I've been shit-faced in almost all of em. If you want to have a fun few days in Europe, go to Prague, Amsterdam, Vienna, or Florence. Those are my favorite European destinations (unless I'm fly fishing, in which case I go to Norway). If you want to see the Alps, go to the French, German, or Austrian Alps. Switzerland sucks.
