Yep. The only exchange right now in Switzerland is Taler Operations AG.
As for the wire transfers, no alternative way that I know of.
Comment on GNU Taler v1.0 released and is operating in Switzerland

GNU Taler requires exchanges in order to function, and hasn’t had any so far. What exchange now exists for use in Switzerland? Is it Taler Operations AG?
It depends on wire transfers to move money into and out of a Taler wallet. Wire transfer fees are typically around 30 USD. That’s not practical for most people’s needs, even if done in batches. Are there plans to support a less expensive means of funds transfer?

Transfers within Switzerland are free for normal people. And SEPA has a relatively low fee for transfers in (some) other European countries.

Nobody pays wire transfer fees in Europe.
