Emergency numbers

Emergency numbers Switzerland

The most important emergency number in Switzerland and in Europe is 112. You can call the general emergency number in any emergency.

The number 112 connects you to the police alarm center. You can also call them with a foreign SIM card. Or with a prepaid card with no credit if the balance has been used up.

There are other emergency numbers. You can call them with your smartphone, from telephone booths or from public phones. Access to the geographically responsible emergency call centers in Switzerland (e.g. fire brigade, medical service or police emergency call) is determined at Winet via the personal data of your myWinet telephony account (address entered when registering).
