[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Switzerland sounds great, but I am now beginning to worry about staying in the Alps. My parents cannot join us for any of the hiking, biking, mountain activities -- so maybe it would be better to stay in a bigger town with other things to do? I expect we would be able to take 1 (maybe 2) day trips to close locations (no more than 2 hours travel time).

Yes, it would be a much more fun adventure to "leave the grandparents at home," but this is their desired trip to spend time with their family. So we have to plan around them![/quote].

Do they have any mobility at all?  One of the great things about Switzerland (and the Bernese Oberland in particular) is that there are cable cars and trains to many scenic areas (and once there the terrain is often easier).

For example, from Grindelwald you can take a cable car up to First and there are some relatively flat walks there (and some more adventurous ways down for the kids).

You could visit Jungfraujoch by train. Or take a cable car to Schilthorn and back.

There are some gorgeous relatively flat walks easily accessed from Murren or Wengen, or along the Lauterbrunnen Valley. [/quote]
