Even though Norway and Switzerland are not in EU they both are signed up to EC261. However I know the Swiss Courts are much more generous to the airlines than EU member state Courts. Hence why I'd recommend pursuing this in Germany as its an EU mender and the EU takes a very generous stance to the passengers.
SOP has no teeth and it is not binding, Switzerland forget it, maybe Norway has a decent system ?
