I bought mine at the Airport, I think it was in the small newsagent in the Departure level.

Not quite as easy as it sounds, as Swiss 3 pin sockets are not EU standard, and have either an unusual hexagonal recess, or are flush with the wall.
If you have a standard UK 3 pin plug, then in DIY Migros you can buy a UK to EU adapter, about 7.90CHF, which may plug into your Swiss socket, depending on which type you have in your apt.
I unscrewed all my UK plugs and put on Swiss ones (about 2CHF) on each lead, but this takes time. Depends how long you are here for.
Hope this helps.

Also, you can buy a 3 way plug in Coop that doesn't have the hexagonal fitting. It makes life so much easier!
