Last minute trip for 7 days--5 of which will be in Wengen

I reserved my place in Murren a year ago for June 18-26th. We were planning on all my kids joining us but now one of my kids might be starting grad school during those dates and so we might come a week earlier to Europe to accommodate him. His portion would be the week of June 3-10. I am such a planner and was able to reserve a place in Wengen just now for June 5-10 for a reasonable price but we still need a place June 3-5.

Any suggestions of where to stay those two days that will be easy to get to from Zurich where we will fly in. We love hiking which sucks this early in June I know. He is 24 and we are both pretty athletic and just like the countryside and staying pretty active. I'm thinking we can kayak one of the lakes and do some hikes in the lower elevations but I can't figure out where to try and find a place for those two days....Thanks for any thoughts.....

Thank you both! The link included above is much appreciated!

Do y’all know about Kandersteg and Lake Oeschinen? It’s out of the way but looks so pretty. Since y’all have probably been to these places, how does Kandersteg compare to Lucerne?

Kandersteg village is nowhere near as known as Luzern, but the Oeschinensee (mountain lake/hike) is a crown jewel (UNESCO world heritage site).
Therefore, the village itself is less tourist-geared, which is good, for many.
The nearby town of Fruitigen, with Blausee, turquoise lake is worth a visit also.
