You have to consider: the cost (as it can get a bit expensive in Swiss, a bit more than France, if you are used to travelling in Paris), your personal preferences, or the time you have at hand.
Roughly, you can divide Swiss in to two parts: the northern part and the southern part. The northern part is where all the big cities and populous areas lie, like Berne, Zurich etc., and is not very mountainous. Then there is the southern part, roughly the Rhone Valley, which lies in the heart of the Swiss Alps. So, if you want to enjoy the beautiful cities, head north. If looking for more scenic routes, skiing, hiking, lakes, glaciers, gliding, or other outdoor activities, head south!
In this image above, the area in the red is what i'd call the northern Swiss (this is just my classfication).
A good source for finding restaurants, hotels, chair lifts, parking spots etc is HERE.
Official Tourism Website and some info about the Regions in Swiss.
Some general info on WikiPedia
As you might have guessed, I headed towards the southern region of Valais and Oberland.
Other great places that I didn't get a chance to see: Lugano, Ticino, Luzern, Glarus thrust
