I read the post as saying: Zurich, if cost of living is not an condideration at all. I don't known if anything in Munich can compete with a nice lakefront pad in Zurich. If cost is a consideration, Munich definately. The range of great and cheap nature options near Munich is countless. It's Austria's backyard, and hanging out in the Austrian Alps and lakes is a fraction of the price of the Swiss alternative.
