This is an orchid. Pedicularis verticillata is not an orchid, but is in the family Orobanchaceae. The shape and arrangement of the leaves are completely different. It is also not found in Switzerland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pediculari...
Hello t3rrone, and welcome to Project Noah! Could you please update the location of this spotting? This alpine plant can not have been spotted in Basel. Once the location is right we can help you further with ID.
