When buying a SIM card in Switzerland you are required to show your ID for registration, however you don't need to be a Swiss resident.
If you want to get online in Switzerland I would recommend a Swisscom SIM with the "Natel Easy Be Free" prepaid plan, which gives you unlimited internet access for CHF 5 per day (for details check Switzerland - Swisscom - Prepaid Wireless Internet Access), which is significantly cheaper and more secure than the unencrypted WiFi network at the airport.

Hi inquisitor,
May I know that the APN for Swisscom prepaid sim card? And, this sim card can be used in Huawei mifi? Besides, Swisscom just provide day plan only? No weekly plan? Will the Swisscom staff helping for the SIM card activation? Thanks a lot.

Yes: Let me google that for you

You can use every GSM/UMTS SIM card in your Mifi. No need to ask this again and again for each country and network.

Besides, Swisscom just provide day plan only? No weekly plan?

I'm only aware of two monthly plans including 300MB for CHF19,- and 2000MB for CHF39,-, which however can only be ordered from an iPad: Internet iPad - Tarife iPad - iPad 2 - Swisscom - NATEL® data start - NATEL® data easy flex

Will the Swisscom staff helping for the SIM card activation?

They will sell it activated and remember to bring your identity card as the SIM card will need to be registered upon purchase.
