Hi kjr221 and welcome to MySwissAlps!

I would suggest looking at staying in the Jungfrau region for some nice mountain experiences.

From Geneva you can take a train to Montreux and then take a train on the Golden Pass route to Interlaken. You could then stay at Interlaken, but more popular mountain villages would be Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald, Wengen or Mürren.

Some suggested we go to mtTItlis. What would you suggest?

How about Jungfraujoch?

Any thoughts?

Zermatt/Gornergrat/Matterhorn and the western Alps would be better than Jungfraujoch and Titlis for a short trip flying in and out of Geneva

Yes, Zermatt and area is much more easily reached from Geneva. It really depends on what you want to see/do and how long you are willing to travel to get there. 🙂

See the Swiss railways timetable here.

If you aren’t set on some of the more “popular” mountains (like Titlis and Jungfraujoch (as you see many people know them) you could have an excellent time in Montreux (Rochers de Naye and/or Glacier 3000 for mountains) and Zermatt for the Gornergrat to see the Matterhorn.

Indeed Rochers de Naye was in my mind when suggesting staying west. Equally good mountain views as the popular mountain destinations further east, plus Marmots, walking possibilties etc.

Even lower and quickly accesible uplands give great views, such as Les Pleiades above Vevey:

Then there’s all the vineyards on the slopes above Lac Leman

For ease of use I would lean to the Swiss Travel Pass for 4 days. On the 5th day you can just buy a very cheap ticket to Geneva airport.

The Swiss Travel Pass will cover all your trips except between Wengen or Grindelwald to Jungfraujoch. You need to buy a ticket for that portion of the trip to Jungfraujoch which is discounted 25% with the Swiss Travel Pass.

You can buy the Swiss Travel Pass online here and have it emailed to you to print at home. This way you have back up copies to print again in case you lose it.
