This come back to the problem of having contacts in Switzerland, which
is not the case after some years abroad.

I'm not as pessimistic as you. Even if it probably happens, there are
also people who had international experience and were back in
Switzerland on non permanent positions and they have taken this chance
(after all it is a 4+2 years position, and the status is Assistant
Professor).
> On another point, the fact that only 3 out of 26 "Foerderungsprofessoren" are less than 35 years old is kind of scary to me, too.
You are right, but one condition to apply is
"Grade de docteur et plusieurs annees de recherche attestee par des
publications de haut niveau".
So everything depends on the meaning of "plusieurs"....
