Believe it or not, I believe the local opposition to an F1 circuit anywhere in Switzerland would be immense. Pollution issues would probably top the list (noise, emissions, etc) and it would upset the poor cows.

Also its a bit of a waste for 1 day a year.
I'm sure there'd be opposition & many kittens would take to the hills.

Hungary supposedly has a track used only once a year for the F1 - the Hungaroring - but actually there is a thriving (ish) racing calendar there. I've just come back from qualifying for the Renault Clio Cup, racing there tomorrow & Sunday. The programme is packed.

I'd love there to be somewhere near-ish for track days & racing. As said above, Germany is one option, though the Ring is possibly a bit intimidating/OTT for novices. Dijon is a good circuit, as is Spa. Unfortunately it all means lots of travel, a pain when you've spent a day concentrating going round & round in circles
