[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]

I still think Switzerland is the answer, but it would help if you have a hefty activity budget. If so, I would plan for one family activity per day, which could be a boat ride on a lake, or a cable car up a mountain to a view, a train ride or similar. Maybe the most active people hike up rather than take a cable car. Or go biking afterwards. Or the family activity is going out for dinner, and the active people go on a full day hike first.[/quote]
