  • It is unfortunate for questions like these that comments must have a minimum of 15 characters. The answer is "nothing." – phoog Jun 25 '15 at 18:52
  • Hotels are much more expensive in Switzerland. I would suggest staying just on the non-Swiss side of the border. (The border itself is essentially un-patrolled, because of the Schengen agreement.) – Andrew Lazarus Jul 12 '15 at 16:41

You don't require any additional visa, as Switzerland is a schengen country itself - while not a member of the EU, it is a part of Schengen (and several other EU-related agreements).

If you wish to drive on a motorway/autoroute however, you will need a pass/sticker affixed to your car, called a Vignette. This can apparently be bought either online or at a border crossing.

Switzerland is member of the Schengen area. So you don't need any extra visa to enter Switzerland.
