Might be useful if you are going to one of the big cities like Basel, Bern, Zurich or Geneva. As to specific birds in Switzerland, I have not birded there except in the summer. Some birds you could look out for at higher elevations, such as in the ski areas, are Alpine Chough, Crested Tit, and Snowfinch. Maybe Wallcreeper, too, in areas with steep cliff walls. Good luck!
