Edit: From Murren, you can take the cable-car to the Schilthorn (Piz Gloria from James Bond).
In fact any place in the Alps is great, some are more tourist oriented, some are more discover-as-you-go.

Great advice here. Mrs. Sarc and I spent our honeymoon (2 weeks) in Switzerland.
Started the trip in Ouchy/Lausanne then made our way to Lauterbrunnen for a week, which served as a great base for day trips to Wengen, Murren and the Schilthorn. We finished off the trip in Basel, Bern and Zurich. Loved, loved, loved staying in the alps spending time in the quiet towns. So serene and idyllic. We can't wait to take our kids.
I took this hanging over the side of the steamer on the way to Montreaux from Ouchy:
Fantastic hiking in the Lauterbrunnen Valley
