Zermatt requires a dedicated journey there, but is amazing to see at least twice, winter and summer.
Saas Fe is also very nice for being car-free. (Or Braunwalden, but there's nothing luxurious there as far as I'm aware)
Thanks for thoughts. Car free sounds pretty nice.
Zurich unfortunately is not on our itinerary this time. We are spending 4 days on Como in Tremezzo, then heading up to Andermatt to stay at the Chedi for two nights. The question then becomes go to Zermatt, or up to Brienz area or Lucerne.
