I am looking into going to Switzerland for a week.
Is it even feasible to see a lot in this short amount of time, and if so, any suggestions as to where to fly into, mode of transportation on land, and what highlights to make sure I see????
Thanks

I've been to a few towns is Switzerland -- Geneva, Lucerne, Zermatt, and Grindlewald. Zermatt and Grindlewald are both Alpine villages, and both are great, but of the two I prefer Zermatt. In fact, Zermatt is one of my favorite towns in Europe. It's a very charming, pretty town with wonderful views of the Alps, and I consider it a must-see. I went there twice, the last time this past September and I have a travelogue of that trip with pictures at http://www.lunadesigns.com/travels/. I enjoyed Geneva, but it's very big and metropolitan. I would suggest Lucerne as a second stop because it's a larger town with plenty to do, but not huge and still has an "old town" feel -- very pretty town. And Lake Lucerne is beautiful. For only a week of travel, I would stick to only two places, three tops. I know all too well that fitting too much in a short time because you want to see everything is a mistake -- you just wind up seeing very little of each town and being very tired. I consider 2 nights a minimum stay for each town, 3 nights preferable. For transportation, Swiss rail is great -- very efficient and gets you practically everywhere.

Seeing the top sites in Switzerland in a week is ambitious. You'd probably need about 2 weeks or so.
With that said, I covered a good portion of Switzerland via train over a six-night period. Here
goes (hold on for the ride!): Flew into Geneva and took a train to Bern (although if you wished you could walk around Geneva for a few hrs), stayed overnight in Bern for 2 days to get our bearings, feel more rested, etc. (Took a day trip to a nearby medieval town of Fribourg.) Then took a train to Interlaken area to see the mountains there before heading to Zermatt for an overnight. Toured Zermatt (beautiful town as the other poster indicated). Then headed southeast to Locarno to tour the town, swim and stay overnight. Next day took a ride over part of the Glacier Express route to the medieval town of Chur. Spent time enjoying the city and lodging there before heading to Zurich. Arrived in Zurich late morning, toured and shopped in the city in wrapping up our trip to catch a flight from Zurich the next day. Believe it or not,it wasn't too rushed. Also, I did a lot of preparation beforehand (new which trains to take when). Most notable omissions include Geneva and Lucerne (but I saw those on a previous trip.

I've been to Switzerland a couple of times but I'm not a skier so I can't tell you much about places like Zermatt, St. Moritz and Gstaad. However, I've been to Bern (which is really worth a trip) and Lucerne. I can always go back to Lucerne. I love the old town feeling and the architecture. About 10 minutes from Lucerne is a glass factory called Hergeswil. They have an "do-it-yourself" tour (which is really low-maintenance and no hard sell compared to Murano) which is interesting. They also have 2 stores - a "seconds" store and a regular store. It's worth a stop. Mt. Titlis (no kidding, that's the name) is also worth a visit. You take 3 gondola rides up to the top and go through an ice cave and have a great view at the top. Have a great time.

I was in Swizerland only one time. I was in Geneve and I went to a tour in Chamonix(France). There You take a train to Aguille-du-Midi , a hill near the Mont Blanc. It was great ! For more informations writte me. Cláudia
