You could also just read previous replies to similar questions on this board...

Seven days and the MUST SEE places: no way.
Start a bit more modestly, e.g. by visiting http://www.anholter-schweiz.de/
There's a replica of the Vierwaldstädtersee near Lucerne. A MUST SEE and guarantee you'll manage in the limited time.
There are more mini-Switzerlands, probably more convenient for access. Please tell what are your transport oprions.

"Must-see" places don't exist anywhere in the world - it's your trip so you should make sure you see what you want to see. In addition to the suggestions made by previous posters, have a look at [www.myswitzerland.com].

GLACIER EXPRESS - BERNINA EXPRESS
Glacier-Express and Bernina-Express run slowly through very different areas with completely different mountain village architecture from valley to valley. there are constantly 3 kinds of highlights:
a) nature: mountains, glaciers, forests, mountain lakes, creeks, etc.
b) human buildings on both sides of the lines: villages, churches, castles (inbabited and in ruins), monasteries, alp chapels, wooden bridges, etc.
c) the railway line itself: bridges, tunnels, chalet like railway stations, cog sections, helicoidal bridges and tunnels.....
May be you have a look at the viedos of Glacier-Express and Bernina-Express:

Some must-dos

I'm glad no one is seriously answering this

@7: I'm glad no one is seriously answering this
