Well. Not really. Germany seriously aimed to conquer Switzerland, however Swiss made the conquest incredibly difficult: they put mines, explosives in tunnels, on roads.
It is a country which depends very much on roads and tunnels becaues of the mountains, so by threatening to destroy their infrastracture, Swiss saved themselves, and Germany just kinda said "fuck it" and negotiated "open borders" for their forces and left Switzerland as is.
