Getting your Swiss Drivers License?
Here are a couple
places to check out driving schools:
www.kza.ch
www.fahrschule.ch/lehrer/index.html
We found
this link very useful for Zurich: www.stva.zh.ch/internet/ds/stva/de/home.html.
Click
on Ausweise (Fuehrer und Fahrzeugausweise) and then on Umschreibing eines
auslaendischen Fuehrerausweises and you will find a downloadable (in German)
sheet on getting your Swiss license. You could also call the Stassenverkehrsamt
at (01)468-3111 and ask them directly.
If you are coming from the US
with an American License you have one year to trade in for your Swiss License.
You must contact the Strassenverkehrsamt via phone or online - fill in the
necessary document, send in your American License (keep a copy for yourself)
plus eye test results and you will receive your Swiss License in about 2 weeks
with your American one back as well.
Here are some sites in original languages that will help with traffic laws
etc:

And last but not
least....The Auto Clubs of Switzerland:
