Our travel dates have changed and we now have an extra day after we land in Zurich. I am thinking of going on to Gruyere and spending the night there. Then we can do the cheese/chocolate thing at a more leisurely pace before we get to Montreux, and leave more time in the Lake Geneva area. Any suggestions of where to stay? Is there a better idea?

Sounds good to me. You can get to Gruyeres a little bit faster and a little less money from Zurich airport than going to Montreux. For places to stay, look at the Gruyeres Tourism site.

I definitely recommend going to Gruyeres and spending a night there. Beautiful town and scenery in the area. We stayed at the Hotel de Gruyeres two years ago and thought it was great. It's just outside the town wall, quiet, very attractive and comfortable room, and fine breakfast.
