Itinerary suggestions for Switzerland-Italy-Spain for my Parents. Help Please !!

My parents will be reaching Switzerland on the 31st morning. They are booked in Torgon from the 2nd to 7th. They want to be in Switzerland till the 11th of June. They are not fond of very touristy places. What all places should they see? They are also willing to get a rental car while in Torgon. they want to see the best of Switzerland. How should they plan it?

Further they want to go to Italy. How to get there? They want to spend 8 days in Italy and further they would like to got to Spain for 8 days (If this is possible). Can you please recommend a itinerary ? Also the train routes? Should they take a euro rail pass? What are the towns they should stay in ?

Thank you

31st of what month? Why Switzerland - what do they want to see?

Sounds like they - and you - would benefit from reading some guidebooks. For train info for Europe in general, Switzerland and Italy in particular, and whether to buy a pass of some kind (likely yes for Switzerland and no for Italy) see: https://www.seat61.com/

Unspoilt mountain villages of Val d'Herens and Val d'Anniviers

Loetschental
Zermatt - Gornergrat (car up to Taesch, then train)
Saas Fee - Mittelallalin (revolving glacier restaurant)
