It depends on your nationality. Switzerland is part of the Schengen Area. If you have an EU or Schengen area passport, there is no minimum validity. You can even travel to Switzerland on your national identity card, if you are from a country that issues them. If you are from a non-Schengen/EU country you need a validity of at least 3 months on your passport, and if you need a visa then you also need 2 blank pages on your passport.
