Quick Winter Mountain Escape near ZRH for non-skiiers?
SO and I have an upcoming 48hr layover in ZRH and were looking to spend one of the nights in a chalet in or near the mountains somewhere. Since its a short trip, were just looking for a charming small town to walk around and enjoy the scenery and maybe snowshoe / hike.
Most of the recommendations I hame come across seem to be geared to skiiers, so I was curious what town would be best to visit in its own right. At the moment I'm looking at Grindelwald or Murren so I also wasn't sure if there was something closer to ZRH.
Thanks!

Thanks!
for some, 
for me!

If you're looking to go as far as Murren, and don't care about skiing, I'd save a few hundred meters and stop at Gimmelwald. http://www.gimmelwald.ch/ Never been in winter yet, but it's on the list.

You don't even actually have to leave Zürich, if you go up the Uetliberg. http://www.utokulm.ch/en/
