Regular socializing with fellow Austrians is an essential part of expat life and helps getting accustomed to the Swiss way of life and mentality. InterNations helps you connect and meet up with other Austrians in Switzerland, residing in Zurich, Geneva, Bern and many other places throughout the country. Just take a look at our group of Austrians in Zurich or Austrians in Geneva.
