Is there a way to use a LTE on Raspberry PI or Linux in general even if there are only .exe files on that stick?
Did anyone get a LTE stick from switzerland to work with his raspberry pi?

Exe files are indeed windows-only. However, many LTE sticks have Linux drivers, either released by the manufacturer, or created by the community. Ubuntu Wiki has a list of such supported sticks. You should find out what chipset your stick has (lsusb reports Vendor ID / Product ID which you can compare with the values from the list). If it is supported, check the "Notes" column for hints on how to get it to work. Edit your question to include details (VID/PID and what you have tried) if it still won't work, perhaps the community will be able to help.
For sticks which present themselves as mass storage (such as yours) the first step is to use usb_modeswitch to get it connected as a communication device instead of a thumb drive.
If it's not supported, you're most likely out of luck. I would buy a supported model and plug your SIM card in it: chances are, it will work fine on your operator's network.
