Exploring Switzerland with a car – where can I park?

It’s not that extreme.

For mountains and forests:

a) Don’t block the road, not even partially. If that means you can’t park, don’t. And don’t park in turns etc. where the car can’t be seen by other drivers before reaching it. (Remember buses, on roads where you would never expect them).
b) If it is eg. a road to a ski lift in winter, or touristy for some other reason, and you’re near a parking area, better use it.

Otherwise, you should be fine.
On most mountain roads etc., outside of villages, you won’t find marked parking space at all.

However, I’m not sure what you mean with “days”. If you plan to leave your car to sleep in the woods with a sleeping bag, someone could see your car on the roadside several times with some hours between => worrying what happened to the owner => car removed and police searching for you. In such situations, find a proper place to leave it.

For small villages: If they’re small enough to not have marked parking space, you can’t use it …
