U.S. citizen staying in Switzerland ?
How long can I stay ?
Do I need some kind of visa ?
Its just traveling to Bern I am not going to stay more than 3 months Additional Details Well I thought about another question witch I did not see the answer to on the web-site (or maybe I did not look hard enough )
Let say I want to marry someone ? (and he is a Swiss citizen)
an one last question what is the minimum wage ?!
A US Citizen can stay in Switzerland (without a visa) for 90 days. As you are just travelling to Bern, you can enter the country with your US passport.
There is no legal minimum wage in Switzerland, however the bench mark for most full-time work is 2'500 CHF per month (30'000 CHF per year) or US$ 2'200 per year (26'400 US$ per year).
Finally, if you want to marry someone, the civil (and religious) union between foreigners and Swiss citizens is allowed and encouraged by the Federal Government. If you are married to a Swiss citizen, you are allowed to become Swiss according to Article 27 of the Naturalisation act, which states:
"Spouses of Swiss Nationals (who have lived in Switzerland for at least five years) and have lived for at least one year in Switzerland and having lived for three years in conjugal community can apply for citizenship."
The requirements at a Federal Level are:
*Integration
*Compliance with rule of law
*No danger to internal or external security
*Additional requirements depending on legal provisions

Come and have fun - just as long as we Swiss can stay in the US without a visa (90 days). For detailed information about entry formalities into the Land of the crazy Helvets, please consult their official (English!) website: http://www.bfm.admin.ch/bfm/en/home/themen/einreise/merkblatt_einreise.html
As for minimum wages: No such thing in Switzerland.
And as for a marriage with a Swiss national: Yes, you can - but I wouldn't suggest it...
