That is going to be tough, particularly for places that will accommodate 6 people. Any itinerary people might suggest could be moot if you cannot find lodging there.

I will mention one apartment in Mürren, a popular alpine village in the Berner Oberland, that I believe is available. I saw it a week ago when I was checking for someone else, and I see that the availability calendar still shows availability for your time. Look at Sportzentrum 2.30 on this page:

This is a 3-bedroom, 1.5 bath apartment above the Sports Center. We rented a similar apartment in the same building for our family group of 6 last September and it was very comfortable. Views from the balcony are very; nice. The larger penthouse apartment in a different building is also available, but it is quite expensive.

Beyond that, I cannot offer any suggestions other than to consider spending time in Luzern and the Berner Oberland, staying in those 2 places rather than moving around a lot. Try booking.coim to identify hotel rooms and apartment that may be available.

A note about the lodging around the Sportzentrum in Murren for the rest of this year…. The huge crane and major construction for the Alpin Palace renovations (now Murren Palace) are going to be inhibiting views from that area.

True, although the higher-numbered units are on the shorter leg of the “ell” and face southwest(?) towards the Allmendhubel funicular rather than toward the Alpin Palace. We were in 3.43 last September and did not see the construction at Alpin Palace at all until we exited the building. But I don’t know where 2.30 would be.
