I thought it would be a good idea to maintain a list of web based resources for expats/foreigners in Switzerland. I know that lists such as these exist elsewhere, but since this is a forum we can all contribute to make the list longer. I'll edit this list from time based on what people contribute and include their contributions in this first message.


Info on various resources all over Switzerland for expats


As the banner says - English-language magazine for Switzerland


Dive courses and activities in English

Zurich International Club - various activities organised.

Zurich Comedy Club - Performs comedy theatre productions in English.

Your contributions to expand this list are welcome.

Hi ,
Thought I would let you know about the yahoo site for expat mums in switzerland. I have met lots of people in similar situations. Tried out lots of the places that others have recommended and thought that this could be of interest. Also the is a families inZurich group go to www.yahoo.com click on groups and switzerland and register. Lots of helpful advice etc.
Good luck for this new forum!!!
