Swiss role?

By virtue of not being the Euro, The Swiss Franc had easily won the recent ‘least ugly’ reverse beauty contest between the major currencies. But then the SNB started wearing Angela Merkel, Nicholas Sarkozy and George Papandreou ugly masks to get themselves back into the game.

How will it work out? Will the Swissie be a flight to safety currency in any protracted Eurocrisis before it gets dragged down into the Euro mess? Or will it somehow break the Euro-ties that bind?
