Aldi and Lidl in our area sell Bura (made by Züger) butter/Rapsöl mixture. The salted type has a red lid. Try it, it’s fabulous. You can also stock up and freeze it. Bura salted
Coop has salted butter. Usually found not far from the unsalted butter.

I buy Brittany butter salted with Guérande sea salt.
That stuff is one expensive bread lube.
Stupid question that never came up during my time in CH, but I get salted butter here in the Fatherland in every shop, is it really so hard to come by that a cross border salted butter smuggle would be profitable?
Now and then I get smoked salt and sprinkle that over a slice of fresh bread with Schmalz or butter, now that is a game changer.
I am also a fan of Bura because it spreads straight from the fridge. I prefer the unsalted variety after years of getting used to it. My perception is that Swiss bread has more salt in it than the bread from the UK/NZ.
It’s easily available here but in small packages and at an astronomical price.
We also have taken to buying the Bura stuff from Aldi or Lidl as it spreads easily and tastes good.
I still use proper butter for cooking and baking though.

I love salted butter, with some orange marmelade on top. But I never buy it here.
I don’t see the point really. I had no problem strewing salt on top of my buttered bread for decades and this I guess gave away that I eat too much salt already. No need to sneak it in unattended.
Just for the sake of balance, there are those of us that can’t stand salted butter. I’ve got some in the fridge at the moment, accidentally got it out of the freezer (my wife always used it, we would always have a spare of both types in the freezer) without noticing. Put a big slab of it with honey on my (cold) toast one morning, bit into it and… yukk. Nearly had to spit it out.
I use it for cooking, given that salt would be added anyway, but it must be two months now and it’s still only half way finished.
Cold toast, you say? Yes, the butter is much better if it doesn’t melt.

Kaufland, just over the border, has both Irish and French salted butter 
Our local Co-Op used to have those rolls of salted butter, but stopped selling it, so I would have to drive to the nearest big Co-op to get it, and it always tastes a bit cheesy. I still prefer Züger Burra.
Re “Kaufland, just over the border” - might be close enough for some of you but it’s 120 km to the border at Basel from where we live in the countryside of Canton Paradise (aka Canton Bern) 
Saw salted butter in Aldi last week. No idea about the quality.
I tried that a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t like it at all, it had a very rancidy taste, in case we’re talking about the same one.
The stupid thing about Bura at Aldi is they stock way too little of the salted (red lid) and too much of the unsalted (white lid). I stock up when I can because they are out on average every 3rd visit to Aldi.
How does it withstand being frozen?
Maybe it’s store dependent because they always have plenty of the both when we go there.

I freeze butter all the time. Never seems to affect it in any way.

Yes, me too. Always got a spare pack in the freezer. Indistinguishable one thawed.
