What time of year? If it is warm (May to September), you could go up mountains.
Find somewhere to stay in the the Jungfrau region, Mürren, Lauterbrunnen, Wengen or Grindelwald.
Take a train From Montreux, via Zweisimmen and Interlaken to get there. This is a scenic route, marketed as the "Golden Pass" route.
See this website for an idea of what it is like, and to find accommodation: https://jungfrauregion.swiss/en/summer/
See this map to get an idea of the local Geography: http://www.regionalpass-berneroberland.ch/assets/karte-und-partner/Regionalpass-Panoramakarte-2017.pdf
From there it is easy to get a train via Milan to Venice. I hope you are flying home direct from Venice and do not need to double back
BTW, I assume "vience" is Venice?

I expect it to be cold then. In the Lake Geneva (Lac Leman) area:
With a 6 and a 10 year old, I think they'd enjoy the "STUDIO" in the Charlie Chaplin museum:

It's quite fun and very funny, too. They can try on costumes in recreated movie sets like from his movies. It's near Vevey, in Corsier.
Chillon Castle is memorable.

Gruyères is a charming village with a cafe in the center that looks like a giant cuckoo clock, and there's a pretty castle at the end of town that you can explore.
