Good news for travelers going to Switzerland- the value of the Swiss Franc today equaled the value of the U.S. dollar. The franc has dropped in value by 8 percent this year compared to the dollar which means
Switzerland is less expensive for Americans. It also means you won’t need to do math while on your vacation in Switzerland because 1 Swiss franc=$1 !

Excellent news!
Every little bit helps, especially in Switzerland.
Stephen - 4 francs to the dollar was more than 4 decades ago.

you gotta pay to play, the Swiss probably feel they get good value for what they spend
