Help with Swiss itinerary please

We are two couples in our 60s and 70s. Here is our itinerary, please give us any advice or comments since you are the experts. September 12th_ fly from New York City to Geneva. Drive to Tasch, park, then train to Zermatt for three nights, drive to Stresa for 3 nights, some golf in Stresa, drive to Grindelwald for three nights, drive to Gstaad for two nights, drive to Montreux for two nights, drive to Annecy for one night, drive to Geneva airport fly out to New York. If you have any advice on things to do, easy hikes, restaurants, golf courses, that would be very appreciated. We have rented apartments in all the places. All can be changed except for Gstaad. We have driven in Switzerland previously and love being able to stop and explore along the way. Thanks in advance for anything you can offer.

I'd probably combine your Montreux/Annecy lodging. If you're set on driving then it's a doable day trip from Montreux without having to change hotels again. And then you can drive to the airport from Montreux, no need to add any time in Geneva.

Geez, I hope not, you'll need a second car. I have trained past many golf courses in Europe and although some look interesting, most are not nearly what they are in the US. Other than to say you played in Europe, I would pass on golfing. (I am an avid golfer too). Those hours are better spent elsewhere.

Don't forget to add in your drive times when planning. Those fun stops along the way eat up time. Enjoy.
