i would say you better visit the world famous Matterhorn instead of the Jungfrau, it's somewhat nearer.
take the train to Lausanne - Montreux - Martigny - Sion - Visp. in Visp you have to change the train to Zermatt. the journey from Geneva to Zermatt is about 3¾ hours.
i hope you have beautiful weather - enjoy your trip.

Places To Visit In Geneva

I would say spend a day in Geneva then take the train to Laussane and Montreux. Both are beautiful towns right on the water and the train stations are fairly central in the downtown area. It will take about 3 hours to get to Laussane and another 20 beyond that to get to Montreux.
The trains are a great way to get around, especially in Switzerland, they are always on time, fairly priced, and a great way to see the country side. You can get off at any stop that you like as you pass and walk around for a bit then catch the next one going in the same direction.

It takes 5 hours and 27 minutes by train. There may be a tourbus that will take you from Geneva to Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, or Kleine Scheidegg , but from there you need to go by train (or walk).
It's a heck of a day trip to Geneva and back.
The best place to see that's actually relatively near Geneva is the Chateau de Chillon.

You could take a boat trip round Lake Leman. Stop off along the way at Lausanne, Montreux, Vevey and at Evian and Yvoire on the French side. All these places are worth a visit.
Take the train to Bern (Capital) via Lausanne and Fribourg and return via Thun, Brig, Sion and Lausanne. You'll see quite a bit of the country this way.
Have a nice time.

I think you are best to start your research with the Swiss National Tourism office which has a lot of well researched info - there's an access link below. Your questions may lead to more questions, alternatives and things like timetables
They also have representatives in most major regions, so they are well worth the call for this and other questions.
In terms of places to stay, there are several hotels and big chalets in Interlaken that also offer tours into the area. I've enclosed some links below - just follow them through until you get to the hotels descriptions.
I hope this helps

3 days it is very short, but take a ride on the boat (CGN), tour of the lake. You can go on and off at each stops.
Go to Montreux, Chateau de Chillon (a must see), Lausanne.
Another day go gambling at the casino of Divonne (20 min. drive) in France.

Hi,
I am a Swiss born person and love the country. Try visiting one of the many castles or g to Zurich, which isn't that far away.
