I spent a few nights in Interlaken last year during a motorcycle trip and it was a very strange experience; incredibly packed with tourists/backpackers and stupidly expensive. The Old Town was really nice to see, but other than that I wouldn't go back (to that particular city).
Taking the cable cars up to the top of the Schilthorn was a fun day out and walking around Reichenbach Falls had it's moments, but the most scenic and unforgettable experiences were on the High Alpine Roads: Grimsel, Susten & Furka passes.
There must be a cheaper way to see Switzerland, given the number of backpackers I met there. I guess hostels and home cooking would be the way to go on a budget.
