If you have a full day to spare I would recommend the following itinerary:-
1)An SBB/CFF mainline service from Geneva to Visp along the Rhone Valley line with views of Lake Geneva.
2)Visp to Zermatt and return to Brig on the metre gauge Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn. Very scenic with some rack sections.
3)Brig to Spiez on a BLS regional train over the old Lötschberg line. Great views of the Rhone Valley and Kander Valley.
4)Spiez to Zweisimmen on a BLS regional train.
5)Zweisimmen to Montreux on a metre gauge train of the Montreux-Bernois-Oberland railway. Scenic journey through skiing areas with great views overlooking Lake Geneva.
6)Montreux back to Geneva on an SBB/CFF service.

This journey can be completed in 12.5 hours.
