Default Swiss Alps - Need Help

Hi Friends



I will be visiting Switzerland and I am interested only in the scenic beauty
of the Alps. I am not really into adventure sports on this trip. Can you
please tell me how you compare / rate the scenic beauty of the following
places - Zermatt, Jungfraujoch-Interlaken, Chamonix, St. Moritz, Luzern. Can
you also share your perception of Glacier Express and Bernina Express.



It will be great if you can also suggest itinerary based on your experience.
I will be starting from Paris around noon time on 3rd December for either
Geneva or Chamonix. I need to return from Geneva to Paris on 8th morning.



thanks in advance

Soumyendu Sarkar

we really enjoyed Zermatt...it is a very different town and you can take the
train up to see the Matterhorn and then take the cable car up quite high and
be across from the peak...very beautiful
Luzern was rather touristy but fun
Chamonix, was spectacular

but if i were to get back to Switzerland...i will return to Zermatt

peace,
tish

Actually the best newsgroup for the question might be m.t.r.e
I got some good suggestions there.
