Swiss sockets, so a Europlug fits and a Schuko plug does not.
What you need, by where you are coming from
Arriving from the United States or CanadaA plug adapter, and appliances marked 100-240 V. Anything single-voltage needs a converter.
Arriving from the UK or IrelandA plug adapter is enough - the voltage is the same as at home.
Arriving from most of continental EuropePlugs go straight in and the voltage matches. Nothing to pack.
Arriving from Australia or New ZealandA plug adapter is enough - the voltage is the same as at home.
Socket types, voltage and frequency are the nominal domestic supply as published in IEC/TR 60083 and the national standards it lists.
Liechtenstein uses the hexagonal Swiss Type socket, so a Schuko plug from Austria will not fit.
Sockets in Liechtenstein are Type and at 230 V, 50 Hz - the Swiss standard, the hexagonal socket with an offset earth hole.
A Schuko plug does not fit. The Austrian border is minutes away and the German plug is too wide for the Swiss recess, which catches out people driving in from Feldkirch.
A Europlug fits fine. Chargers and laptop bricks need no adapter.
Swiss plugs work here and nowhere else except Switzerland.
British, American and Australian plugs need an adapter.
230 V, so only American 120 V-only equipment needs a converter.
The Swiss socket takes a Europlug because its holes are 19 mm apart, exactly like a Type outlet - the third, offset hole is the only difference.
