We're going on vacation to Switzerland with the family, and I'm wondering what's most worth seeing or visiting? We're mainly interested in some mountains, trails, lakes, maybe Zermatt?

Zermatt, you won't regret it. I was there in winter, it was super. You have a gondola to Little Matterhorn and a cogwheel train to upper town. Super.

Just for info, all gondolas and trains going to mountains in Switzerland are ridiculously expensive. Otherwise, Zermatt definitely. Both the village itself, and by gondola to Black Lake (Schwarzsee) under Matterhorn and higher to ice palace (Ice Palace). I recommend also viewing Grindelwald (Eiger north face) and ride from Grindelwald to Jungfraujoch - viewpoint, possible walk on glacier (just not too far). Easiest to Google the mentioned three places, tons of info on net. Oh, and don't forget Swiss vignette at entry to Switzerland! Yeah, I miss those places. Since you wrote going there with family, definitely treat yourselves to lots of chocolate and cheese!

We've already been to Interlaken and Jungfraujoch in winter, when we watched downhill in Wengen. It was crazy. Weather great.

What about St. Bernard Pass? Monastery, St. Bernards!
Maybe Saas-Fee? They have crazy bungee, you jump from the gondola over a deeeep abyss!
Otherwise Zermatt, it's really the best. The town itself and surroundings. Lots of options for walking trips, of course lower, under glaciers. Maybe rent skis for a day. Definitely museum visit too.

Thanks.
The trip isn't really that tough, more like pure enjoyment.
But we were apparently the 'attraction of the day' for skiers on the big ski area under Eiger.
From afar it really looks wilder...

The whole five-member family swapped this year's Adriatic vacation for a seven-day stay in the Swiss mountains. We stayed in the mountain valley of Saas-Almagell, which is at 1700 meters above sea level. As temporary residents of this valley, we got special cards with which we could travel unlimited for free on cable cars, gondolas and bus transport in the area of four settlements: Saas-Fee, Saas-Grund, Saas-Almagell and Saas-Balen. This made staying in proverbially expensive Switzerland much more bearable, although prices there aren't exactly low. Roughly speaking, I'd say multiply our shop prices by 2, in inns, mountain huts and cafes at least by 3, or more. Interestingly, hut prices don't rise with altitude, they're similar to the valley, which isn't the case with us.
Still, mountainous Switzerland showed itself in a positive light to us with its natural beauties, mighty snow-covered four-thousanders and glaciers, and calm friendly inhabitants. The living climate is pleasant, a bit harsher and with lower temperatures than ours, water is top-notch anyway, as daughter would pull the tap all the way home.

Switzerland, August 2018 3. last part ... Bernese Alps, Grindelwald
In the last part, we'll head to Glecksteinhutte and enjoy the exceptional mountain environment. On the last day we'll play tourists too. One day must be for pampering. With the gondola we ride to Birg, from there on foot to the highest point we visited. Schilthorn or Piz Gloria 2970 m. Tourist spot offering nice views and they filmed 007 here ... so we'll turn into agents ... and try to find some "Non-Japanese" ... it'll be tough ..
