Switzerland signed the Schengen Agreement in 2008.

It’s unlikely they have border controls since then although they probably did before.

Schengen is nice on paper but anyone who travels extensively knows border checks and random highway/train checks happen all the time. Go to Poland/Slovakia/Austria/&c.

Schengen allows free movement of EU citizen and people legally residing/visiting.

It means you can travel without visa.

It _does not_ mean borders are fully open and you can go in and out with absolutely no control

Random checks still do exist. Also in the highways and border sometimes.
