Sounds like an amazing trip!

I can help with part of it as I've been to Wengen several times (staying in lnterlaken). You are in the heart of the Bernese Oberland, beside the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau mountains, so loads to do, from taking a trip on the lakes from Interlaken , to taking the train to the highest railway station in Europe, the Jungfraujoch

You'll have chairlifts, cable cars and funicular railways to chose from to get you about. I'd recommend buying a Swiss travel pass.

And of course, don't forget to take the cable cars from Murren to the revolving restaurant at the top of the Schilthorn, the Piz Gloria (better known as Blofeld's mountain top base infiltrated by Bond in "On Her Majesties Secret Service"

Murren is a ten minute walk from Wengen, so very easy to get to from where you are staying.

Everywhere is easily accessible, and can be done without paying for organised excursions, so don't feel you have to book a tour.

Yes, Schilthorn is a magic place!

If I where you, I‘d rent a car and do as many mountain passes as possible
