Hmmm, I'm wondering if I should take the Glacier Express to St. Moritz, then take the Palm Express bus to Lugano the next day. Stay one day in Lugano, then take the William Tell Express to Lucerne. Spend a couple days in Lucerne, then take the train to Zurich for the flight home. So my revised itinerary would look like....

Day 1 - Geneva (arriving)
2 - Lausanne
3 - Lausanne - Montreaux/Vevey
4 - Lausanne - Chocolate train
5 - Train from Lausanne to Fribourg to Interlaken
(send luggage straight to Interlaken)
6 - Interlaken
7 - Interlaken
8 - Interlaken Bernese Oberland
9 - Zermatt
10 - Zermatt - Matterhorn
11 - Glacier Express train from Zermatt to St. Moritz
12 - Palm Express bus to Lugano
13 - William Tell Express train to Lucerne
14 - Lucerne

Would that be too much time on transportation rather than on sightseeing?
