Looking for some non-hiking itinerary suggestions to supplement our hiking tour in July.

We are flying into Zurich, then going Lucerne for 2 nights, followed by Interlaken for 3 nights, and Montreux for 2 nights.
We have 6 more nights after Montreux and are looking for ideas on how to fill them.
We are planning to spend at least 2 nights in Bern and probably spend our final day in Zurich.
Is it worth adding Geneva with a day trip to Annecy?

Thank you.

If you want to see Annecy, I'd just stay there, not in Geneva. For 13 nights with a mix of hiking and other activities, perhaps something like....

Zurich Airport > Wengen 4-5 nights > Montreux 2-3 nights > Annecy 2 nights > Luzern 4 nights > Zurich Airport

From Luzern you can do day trips to Bern, Zurich, Lugano/Morcote, Stoos, villages along Lake Luzern, etc. without having to move bases so much. It's also a direct 1 hour train from the airport, so it's a good place to end. I'm assuming your plan is to do hiking when staying in Interlaken. If that's the case, I highly recommend staying IN the mountains instead. It will be a vastly different experience.
