The Swiss Figure Skating Championships (officially named German: Schweizermeisterschaften Elite Kunstlaufen und Eistanzen and French: Championnats Suisses Elite Patinage Artistique et Danse sur Glace) are held annually to determine the top skaters in Switzerland. Medals were awarded in four disciplines: Ladies singles, Men's singles, Pairs, and Ice dance. Not every event is held at every level.
The 2007 Championships were held in Genève from December 7 through 9th, 2006.
