The other option, which would make me more confident about making the connection, is an LH flight, CDG-MUC-PMI, departing at 12:05 PM.
However, it has a longer layover and lands at PMI at 17:10, vs. 14:10 for the CDG-ZRH-PMI flight on Swiss. Obviously would prefer the Swiss option, just to minimize the layovers at CDG and MUC.
