Welcome to Orchidboard! You've still managed to get some nice orchids despite the limitations of living in Switzerland.
Are you sure that there is a blanket 'ban' on ordering plants from outside the country? I know that Schwerter (germany) does ship there though it costs more, and I think a few other nurseries do as well. Maybe it could be good to contact them to ask their experience with shipping to Switzerland? If I remember correctly, there's no problem ordering from outside the country as long as you have the phyto documents, which I think the nurseries supply for that higher price.

Switzerland is not in the EU, and even though it's part of the European single market, I have heard before that it can be quite difficult to order plants from outside the country because you need phyto permits if I remember correctly. One ex-OB member was lucky to live not far from the french border, so he would have package shipped to a friend on the 'right' side of the border then drive over to pick them up.
