I really would like to get your expert opinions on which places we should go for our day trips. This is our first family trip to Switzerland, I am with my wife and 2 year old daughter in the first week of August. Your suggestions and inputs will be greatly appreciated. We would like to stay in a quite village in mountains.
Below is our tentative Itinerary
Day 1: After breakfast in Zurich Morning check out and drive to Berne and Bernese Oberland Region. Check in to the hotel/hotel apt/farm and drive to Planalp, Brienz and Lungern for day trip.
Day 2: After breakfast drive to Istelwald/Hader Kulm for day trip.
Day 3: After breakfast proceed for Jungfraujoch top of Europe via Grindalwald. Park the car in Grindalwald. Evening drive around Lauterbrunnen.

Day 5: After breakfast drive to Gstaad for day trip.
Day 6: After breakfast go to Zermatt and then proceed for Matterhorn/Gornergrat. Park the car in Tasch. Evening free at Leisure. Overnight in Zermatt or any other place which you can recommend as we need to head back to Zurich.

Hi Flyboy and welcome to MySwissAlps!
Looks like a nice plan.
Day 4, after Blausee you could head to Kandersteg and Oeschinen Lake.
Day 5: What brings you to Gstaad? https://www.myswissalp s.com/gstaad
Day 6: I’d stay over night in Zermatt. See our suggestions here: https://www.myswissalp s.com/zermatt/hotels
Day 7: I think Montreux makes the most sense for a visit on your way from Zermatt to Zurich. A lot to see and do there: https://www.myswissalp s.com/montreux/activit ies
You may want to look at a Swiss Half Fare Card to get 50% off your cable car or train trips into the mountains: https://www.myswissalp s.com/swisshalffarecar d

Hi Sachin,
Driving doesn’t make visiting any mountains easier. You still have to take trains or cable cars into the mountains. Use the timetable to plan out the trip: https://www.myswissalp s.com/timetable
Aug 8: you could take a boat cruise on Lake Brienz (https://www.myswissalp s.com/boatlakebrienz)
Aug 9: Harder Kulm is perhaps a 1/2 day – you could also look at Schynige Platte or Thun depending on your interests: https://www.myswissalp s.com/schynigeplatte / https://www.myswissalp s.com/thun
Aug 10: Perhaps the hike from Maennlichen to Kleine Scheidegg: https://www.myswissalp s.com/hiking/maennlich en-kleinescheidegg
