Check out the local chamber of commerce for information.
There are many expats from all over the world living there. Sure they will be able to point you in the right direction.

join Toastmasters or other American social / sports club in Zürich, you probably find some local people in the club.

There are several topics here on the forum of people that want to make friends! So I'd suggest somebody takes things in hand and organize an Expat.com meet-up!
- Create a new topic with a specific title such as [Expat.com meet-up + the date]
- choose a theme (like a picnic in a parc, or an excursion somewhere, or whatever)
- fix a date and time (not to near as to let people organize themselves)
and see what will happen!
(I'm always asking enrolment by private message) and I compile a list of participants....
More and more country forums are organizing same here on Expat.com and are getting more and more success!
Hope this will help
