Trade Forex, many brokerages offer it.
There are stocks that track forex, FXE (Ryder Trust) is Dollar vs Euro, I don't know if there is one using the Swiss Franc(CHF).
Can be VERY risky, can be very rewarding, can be very tiring.

I trade FX, 5 days a week, sometimes close to 24 hours a day.

But I don't trade the Swiss Franc generally, I usually trade the Euro and/or the Yen vs the Dollar.
Leverage is high, moves can be massive in a blink you can be wiped out or make a killing. So you have to manage the risk carefully.

RE the Swiss Franc CHF is the FX symbol, it has been a fairly orderly decline, much smother than the USD/Eur which has had it's ups and down.

No opinion on it personally, I tend to day trade.
