Hi Bergan,
Welcome to MySwissAlps.
If you haven’t booked your flights yet, I recommend arriving via Zurich Airport as it has the most flights: https://www.myswissalps.com/travel/plane/
I think Bern or Thun would make a good base for excursions to Grindelwald and Kandersteg (Lake Oeschinen). From Zurich Airport there are regular direct trains to Bern (1 hour journey). Thun is roughly 20 mins by train from Bern.
