Hello all,
4 adults(2 seniors, 2 young adults) planning a return trip to Switzerland & Austria for summer 2025 and would like to hit the following- Murren, possibly Lucerne, Innsbruck or Salzburg, Vienna. Kayak on lake Brienzersee, Schilthorn, Would love to take a ride on the Danube from Salzburg to Vienna - is this even possible? Small towns, scenery & concerts in Vienna. Short - non scary(no mountain cliffs please) hikes. We have 2 weeks to work with.
Looks like a lot of train/gondola travel in between. I can't seem to figure out the logistics of this trip. Any thoughts?
Thank you all!

Hopefully the above Search will help you. How many nights actually on the ground?
I'd download the SBB app for Swiss trains, DBNavigator for German trains, OBB for Austria, to research travel times.
Just some thoughts-
Fly open jaw, ( multi- city) into one city and out of another. I'm guessing one of those cities will be Zurich. What is your origin city?
Murren should get at least four nights.
You can go directly to Lucerne to/from Zurich.
Book lodging asap, it's not too early.
Have a great family trip. Safe travels.

Heads up: Salzburg is not located on Danube river
