Hi Kim,

The situation is very confusing at the moment. Traditionally you don't need a Swiss visa if you are flying direct to Switzerland and you have a long term multi-entry UK visa.

However, Switzerland will soon (mid 2008) join the Schengen area and will stop accepting UK visas. No-one seems to know when this will change, so you should contact the Swiss embassey and ask them.
