Not sure if Orange works up in the mountains, but CHF 40 still seems a lot.
Orange has CHF 5 SIM cards with CHF 10 balance included:

They advertise 'calls to Europe and the USA at the Swiss local rate',
which probably makes it very interesting to most visitors. They also
have CHF 9,- phones for the poor folks on Verizon/Sprint.

For people that have a SIM-lock on their phones, I can recommend
