Switzerland- Lake and Mountain view in May 2nd week

I am going to be in Bernese Oberland and Zermatt on 10th May to 14th may 10, with my wife and 2 teenage daughters.

We would be visiting lake Thun, Brienz and Leman.
But I would like to know, which is the best place where I will be able to see a tranquil lake with a mountain peak reflecting in the water; in 2nd week of May.
Are the lakes frozen in 2nd week of May?

Where should I go..
1. Riffelsee, Leisee or Stellisee near Zermatt.
2. Lake Bachalpsee near First

I do not have time to go to Kandersteg area..

Switzerland experts, please help...

I am afraid none of them will work. Bachalpsee is probably your best chance. You are aware of the fact that you'll need picture-perfect weather and no wind, right?

You are right.
Those pictures on website are taken in ideal conditions.
But it looks like you are in heaven,

Yes, it will be frozen. And most likely also covered by snow.
