Recommendations of where to go?

Hi all:

I have never been to Switzerland and will be going this summer with a friend (I am 53, she is 38). We want part of our trip to be in Switzerland but not sure where to go! Probably will be coming in from Strasbourg and she will be continuing on to Milan, and I will be going back to the US after this (airport TBD). We will probably spend about 3 days?

We like nature and hiking (me light, her intense), cute towns, rivers, history, food, and beverages! Also, would like it to be a place that has cooler weather vs. warmer if possible - this will be at the end of June, very beginning of July.

I have done some reading up on some places but was just hoping to hear what places people have really enjoyed! We are open to anything!

Thanks!
Kim

Sorry missed that, it's late :) For just 3 days coming from Strasbourg and needing to get to Milan, I'd do Luzern. From there you can go hiking up at Stoos ridge, visit Rigi, take a boat ride on Lake Luzern, explore the historic city, etc. and then to get to Italy you can take the high speed train through the Gotthard tunnel via Lugano.
