Eight days/Nine nights in Switzerland...suggestions for last four days around Lake Geneva?

My fiancé and I are going to Switzerland from July 02-10 2018, arriving in Zurich. We've booked the first night in Luzern and the next four nights/five days in Murren to explore Berner Oberland. After that....where to go?

Perhaps a couple of nights by Lake Geneva (Lausanne) then to Fribourg/Bern for an overnight before taking the train to Zurich to fly home? We're not driving, strictly travelling by train and are thinking of buying an 8-day Swiss Travel Pass which will expire on the 9th so we'll have to pay to get to Zurich by 11am on the last day. Meaning we don't want be in Zermatt on Monday evening, for example.

Any suggestions?

We've done two easy train rides from Switzerland after extended time in this expensive country. We've taken the train up to a beautiful lakeside town on the Bodensee in Germany. We've also taken the train down to Lake Como. On the other hand using those additional nights to explore more of Switzerland is a great idea for you 10 day trip.

Laussane is a great stay along lake geneva and taking the historic paddlewheel over to chateau chrillon, see montreux, train back to Laussane
