Want to know more about swinging in Switzerland?
Known worldwide for being a country with stable politics and famous for its banks, cheese and chocolate, Switzerland is a beautiful and mountainous country. It cuts a famous image with its lakes, ski resorts and traditional villages and libertinism is not what most people would think of when visiting this European nation. Swinging, however, is very popular both as a tourist attraction and a domestic pastime. The country has dozens of large libertine clubs and between them offer a huge community of couples to partner swap with.
In this feature, we give you a club by club guide of all the best swinging venues in Switzerland; from saunas and spas to nightclubs and bars. We also give you some additional resources for those of you interested in FKK clubs or BDSM venues plus some swinging communities and groups that can help you network before and after your date with Swiss libertinism.
Swingers Clubs in Switzerland
There are a few dozen regular clubs in Switzerland that are either couples only or offer couples nights for swingers. We’ve selected the best of these and provided the basic details of facilities, events, prices and opening times.
Please note that all prices are quoted in Swiss Francs (CHF) and are correct as at the time of our reviews (September 2019).
We should point out that whilst most of the clubs have English speakers, the main languages spoken in Switzerland are French and German so a basic knowledge of either of these can help an evening along more smoothly.

Hokus Pokus
8885 Mols
“The Slightly Different Swingers’ Club”
The website for Hokus Pokus is a little confusing and certainly ‘different’ if you don’t speak the language. Onsite translation tells us more about the club than we think we needed to know:
We are not looking for the bouncing colon or planned actions, if we are looking for something, then at most the chocolate that was still in the cupboard yesterday.
Intriguing!
With a picturesque mountainside setting, Hokus Pokus is very much themed around a sexy, but spooky, witch’s house setting. It’s a homely kind of swingers club that is very much in the tradition of a private residence offered for guests to enjoy…as long as you like the atmosphere in your clubs slightly ‘wicca’. Yes, the couple who have put this club together certainly enjoy their witching theme and not everyone will feel comfortable coming here for their initiations. This shouldn’t be an issue as the club have a good reputation for being extremely friendly and offering a warm welcome to new guests.

Swinging in Switzerland: Additional Resources
Visitors to Switzerland who are interested in the Swiss swinging communities might be interested in visiting these additional sites and groups to find out further information for details of regular meetings near them or upcoming events.
Some of these sites offer good social networking opportunities and can provide you with a starting point to meet other swingers in the local area.
FKK Clubs
Prostitution is legal in Switzerland and has been regulated by the Government since 1942. As a result, you can find FKK clubs across the country which operate in a similar way to brothels in other European cities. Though couples and singles are welcome to attend, many of these venues are used more predominantly by single men (and women) who pay sex workers. They are a great place to visit if you are intrigued by commercial sex work and offer a nice alternative to a swinging club for an erotic day or night out.
The entrance fee to these clubs usually covers the use of all facilities plus some extras though sex is charged on top.
