i m planning a 4 days trip to switzerland with my hubby and 2 yrs old daughter.but i dont know any thing about switzerland so it would be great help if someone tell me in which city i should take accommodation which should be economical and convenient for 4 days so from that particular city we can roam around the other cities of switzerland . thanx and regards

My family and I have a plan to go to Switzerland next week for 4 days and 3 nights. We live really close to the country, and have been here quite often in the past few years. We have visited Bern, Lucerne, Geneve, Zurich, Gstaad and many of the bigger cities, and we also have visited Pilatus and the Alps (Actually, the Alps from the French Side, but - okay) Now that we generally know what the cities in Switzerland look like, we want to visit the countrysides also - to get a different view of the country. I would personally like to visit a place(s) in Switzerland that would match well with the country's stereotypes that I imagined when I was younger, where everything was green (Grasses), and there would be mountains surrounding me from afar, wooden lodges, river or even ice caves and falls) The question is basically: Which place(s) would be worth it to visit this August in Switzerland that will consist of Nature (E.g. Lakes, Mountainous Scenery, etc.) that is relaxing (Not adventurous or challenging as in hiking or cycling - I don't think my brother who just had circumcision will be able to cope with those activities.. A bit of walking would be fine, though).. Oh, and also, as additional information: 1. We will bring our own car, but we don't mind using trains (especially) since we also want to get a different perspective to Switzerland other than from the Car Windows 2. I already check the coutry tourism's website (http://www.myswitzerland.com), but I was confused - since there was FAR too MUCH of options for me to be able to choose which places to visit.. Therefore, I would also appreciate some comments on personal experiences in their referred spots in Switzerland... (Well, comments on personal experiences is what I actually want here.....) 3. It would be BETTER if we can be engaged with some Local Event(s).. 4. A bit of shopping spots nearby or concerts (Classical and Opera or the kind) would also be great, but not necessary.... Thanks so much for helping :D :D Had~

I went there a couple years ago with a group and I didn't get enough info about it. (Plus my camera broke) Did you go? Did you enjoy it? What other nearby areas would you suggest I try to get to?
