No, it shouldn't be a problem.
Have you thought about driving some passes while in Switzerland ?
Maybe a route something like this...

These are my two all time favorite passes...
Klausenpass, Spiringen, Switzerland
and...
Furka Pass, Obergoms, Switzerland
I would stay here, near the start of the Furka Pass...
Hotel Glocke (located in the Goms valley, a small but charming hotel)
Hotel Glocke

You can see pics of the hotel and of my Alpine adventure driving tour here...

Flüela Pass, Susch, Switzerland - is also another nice pass to drive. More flat than a curvy high alpine pass - but fun never the less.
It runs into Davos.
Most of these passes should be open - depending on the winter snow fall. But the best plan is to check the local Pass's websites - to make sure they are open for driving!!
Btw... the Furka Pass was made famous in the James Bond film: Golden Eye...
also the large hotel shown in the opening scene(Grand Hotel Glacier du Rhône) is still there and makes for a nice "coffee" or lunch stop.
