Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 This is an Eratigena sp.. It looks like it might be Eratigena atrica (Giant House Spider) but there may be more options in Switzerland that I’m not yet familiar with.

I just took a look through the other options in the genus, there weren’t too many to rule out. I think this is Eratigena atrica (Giant House Spider).
