Mountains at night, the alps are just breathtaking
In general Switzerland is a bit more spectacular (at its best) than Austria, but it is also much more expensive. If budget isn't a problem, Switzerland may be better if you plan on visiting the alps.
But for us personally, we love the Austrian hospitality, the food, affordably living during the winter months, safety, Public transport is fine at both countries, so you don't really need a car if you plan the trips accordingly.
Although I am going to be honest: nothing beats a drive crisscross Austria, going up and down its scenic mountain valleys and along its vast mountain passes. It's one of the greatest countries in the world for scenery.
