Swiss Memberships with a Safety Net (or other big benefits!)
There are a number of organisations in Switzerland that grant members benefits that are disproportional to the membership cost. Here I share a few I have found!
Since moving to Switzerland, I have noticed a few memberships or organisations that you can join with particularly appealing benefits.
I thought it would be useful to compile a few of these in one place.
