new to Switzerland

Hello skyraven Welcome on Expat.com

I have introduced your message in a new thread (in Switzerland forum) for more visibility! I hope that you will get some responses soon in regards to your above query!

Regards

Thanks.
Let's hope some answers will find me

1. Fringe benefits: Could be anything, depends on how your company defines these benefits. Generally speaking, 150 CHF could be regarded as a subsidy for a monthly public transport pass. In Switzerland it is quite common to commute by bus/tram/train.

2. I don't know, I'm not in the IT industry.

3. Definitely! Cars are expensive but your salary is good and will rise. If you don't party every weekend, a car is certainly within reach.

Hi - I will be in Switzerland from the end of the Month.. what is there to do on Montreux and is it easy for me to set up internet, mobile contract and travel around?

I have been to MOntreux once and dont now the area very well... how far am i from Lausanne?

What can you do in Montreux? I don't know, hope someone can help

Inet and mobile contract are easy to set up. If you have a residence address already, you can even do it online. The two leading network providers are Cablecom and Swisscom.

Travelling around by train in Switzerland is very simple and convenient. Their rail network is just amazing. So many former UK residents who have relocated are craving about the Swiss train system (and the whole public transport service for that matter). The fastest direct train from Montreux to Lausanne takes just 21min. Visit the website of the Swiss Federal Railways for further information: www.sbb.ch  Cross-city travel is usually done by train, very rarely by bus and even less by plane since this country is so small. For some newcomers to Switzerland who are used to travel by plane, bus, or ship across cities in their home country, this is a bit of a surprise.

Hi Ling,

If you have more questions, i would suggest you to start a new topic on the Switzerland forum. Thank you
