We visited Switzerland this year and stayed 9 nights in the Interlaken area. The scenery is stunning, the people we met friendly and helpful and spoke good English, and though the prices are expensive, it doesn't have to cost a fortune. We used our cycles some days, riding into Interlaken and by the side of Lake Brienz, made use of the free local train and bus travel card, used the car for some visits eg to Grindelwald, and carefully selected our "big" trips, taking advantage of special offers from the campsite where possible eg. half price up Harder Kulm giving amazing views over Interlaken, the valley and the lakes. Food, especially meat, is expensive, even using Aldi for shopping, so take it with you, or be creative with your cooking. Restaurant prices were really expensive, so we didn't bother! Interestingly, wine was generally cheaper than this country except for Swiss wine which was more expensive than that from other countries! We had an amazing time there and can recommend Camping Oberei at Wilderswil, a small site run by an elderly mother and her daughter who have lived there all their lives and know everything there is to know about the area (reviews on here).
We went to Switzerland via The Netherlands and Germany, using motorway almost the whole way and certainly no mountain passes!

My thanks to Jaiash, Iwalain, DiPhil and Colin 2444 for your comments and advice we are very grateful.
Nice to know that some contributors on here are still polite and comment in more helpful terms, as one has come to expect from this site.
DiPhil I will be emailing you, thank you.
Looks like we will stay at Fornella, Lake Garda (CC Site) as they appear to have 120m sq pitches ???
and then possibly move into Austria as a number of people have told us that it is a better option to Switzerland.
We've been to both Switzerland (once) and Austria (2 or 3 times), so not very often, but I would say that both have their own appeal.
We spent 10 days in Switzerland in fabulous weather, near Interlaken, and got a 6-day pass for the trains. One trip we did was to the Jungfraujoch, and that is something that will always stick in my mind as one of the best parts of any holiday, it was fabulous. Other trips by train were also fantastic, we really enjoyed every minute of those 10 days.
We've also spent some time in Austria, Salzburg and Vienna we liked very much; as well as the lakes - Wolfgangsee and Zell am See. Again, we enjoyed it there too.
Difficult to make a decision, I don't really think I'd find it easy to recommend one above the other; you'll have to go to each on 2 separate holidays!
