can't really say much about the rest of switzerland but i was in the wallis, sion multiple times, which is not far away from lausanne and the area is quite nice, summer is hot and due to that theres a lot of whine growing and of course beautiful scenery of the alps
sion has a rail station of course but its not a big city all around

Swiss here, it completely depends on what you want to do, see and your budget.

Switzerland is expensive but most destinations you listed are super touristy and expensive^10.

lucerne has some of the most scenic vistas ive ever seen, certainly not to be missed.

well what do you want to see? visit the cities or the country side?
if want the check out the cities you should visit zürich, basel, geneva and bern. the rest are meh.
if you want to see the country side, my favorites are graubünden especially the national park (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_National_Park) the crestasee is also very picturesque (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crestasee) and valais for example the rhône Glacier (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rh%C3%B4ne_Glacier) or the aletsch glacier (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aletsch_Glacier)

tell me what you are after and i can give you more ideas

I go to a lot of countries for many reasons. I'm interested in tjings that can only be done or seen in switzerland, which may be the most popular/"touristy" things which is fine.

I want to see picturesqye villages, good scenery and mountains/the alps.

Places like wengen, murren, gimmelwald are close so it seems one could see all of them if staying in the area, but perhaps their proximity means youre getting the same scenery, same stuff. So in such a case i wouldnt know which to stay at

It's bad because some of our coolest places became literally Disneyland 2.0 just with a higher price tag to get your "I survived xy the ride" picture.

I stayed at a hotel in Basel switzerland . I ate at a restaruant and my meal was 70 chf most expensive meal ive ever eaten. then crossed the alps and drove to florence italy. Everything in switzerland is expensive due to being out of the eu. 1 liter of motor oil is 50chf i saw. even burger king food will be expensive in ch.

Another Swiss anon here. While it is true that life in Switzerland is expensive you can get away quite easily too if you are on a budget.
I would recommend you to visit Zurich over Geneva as it is just more appealing (shopping, size, clubbing if you're into that). Then hop on a train to Luzern and go check Lake Lucerne which is just amazing ! From then you could go to Lausanne or somewhere around Lavaux (a region) and see the vineyards and such and picturesque landscape with Lake Geneva and the Alps. You could also push to Geneva (only about 40 min away from Lausanne). Anyway once in Lausanne you have direct access to Wallis by train that rides just next to the lake. In Wallis you can take a train that goes up to Zermatt and the Matterhorn. You can also visit pretty much anything up there (Derborence is pretty nice too).
Note that if you go to Brig (pretty up in Wallis) you can take a train that goes to Thun, just next to Gimmelwald. Everything is very well connected here !
Feel free to ask if you have any questions
