Hi! We are a family of 4 planning a rental car based trip.
The plan is to fly into Milan. Pick up a car.
Loop around Switzerland for 8-10 days returning to Como/ Milan/Cinque Terre in the remaining days.
Thoughts on this plan? Gotcha's?
We have visited Swizterland only by train before but this time want to explore in a car.

You don't need a car for the Lauterbrunnen Valley and you could easily spend five nights there.
Hello ss.srini, and welcome to the forum,
Make sure your rental company knows you're crossing borders with the car so the coverage and everything works. It used to be a big deal but I don't know if it still is.
Make sure all drivers have an IDP before you leave.
Read up on ZTLs for Italy and parking fees and passes in the various areas before you go. Sounds like some of the Swiss fees have already been mentioned.
Are you going to drop the car and then train to CT? I think driving and train times are about the same and a car does you no good while you're there.
Have a great trip,
