Last minute October trip

Hi everyone,

My husband and I want to leave on a last minute trip to Europe with our 6 month old baby. All our trips are usually planned last minute!

We would leave around mid October (starting October 10th). We would love to go to Switzerland (Zurich and the Lauterbrunnen area), but upon reading, it's not recommended to go during this time since it will be dead season?

We're open to other suggestions of course. We like walking around, eating good food, exploring cities or beaches. Not necessarily huge on historical monuments especially with the baby.

We would like to stay at two destinations for two weeks (select two bases and explore other areas from there).
Any suggestions to guide our trip?

We e been in mid October and had a wonderful time in Wengen, Lucerne and Zermatt all due to less crowds and nice weather. Dead season? Not even close.
