So my family and I are planning to go to spend a few weeks in Hungary this summer, but I was thinking it would cool to perhaps fly into Zurich and drive around/through Switzerland/Austria to get there first. I'm a little bit more familiar with Austria, but Switzerland, not so much. I'd love some suggestions on what to do and where to go there.

We're going to have a 6 month old with us, so we're looking for things that are a little more low-key, or atleast give us some flexibility. So things like small towns, scenery, a little more chilled atmosphere would be ideal.

I was thinking of flying into Zurich, and driving around Switzerland and Austria for about a week or week and a half. Other than stopping in Salzburg on the way, I don't really have anything else on the list yet. So I'd love to hear some suggestions!

Can anyone recommend any particular places to go to? And of course place to avoid? Even if it's specific things like hotels/restaurants/sights...

Also, definitely hoping to get some good cheese and chocolate in Switzerland. I don't care if it's summer, I need me some fondue.
