Can anyone tell me if they have travelled thru Zurich with firearms. Any requirements?
 
This is as close as I can get you.

Thanks Brick? It really doesn't tell you if you need the permit if you are just travelling thru and your guns are in checked baggage.
 
Does Rosetta Stone have a Swiss course?
 
You would need German to read the docs.

This was the only part that I thought might affect you.
"You also require a permit for temporarily importing firearms in the course of a trip or journey."

I would be sending an email directly to these guy at the Federal Police.

Our travel agent just called ahead to the airline to let them know and they had no problem.
