The plan was/might be...Italy, probably Rome again and then train up to Zermatt to see the Matterhorn, then glacier Express to St Moritz...hang out there for several days and then train/plane to where ever we can get a flight back home to.
Using milage form the flights so that may prove challenging depending upon how stingy AA is with seat allocation.

I had written a response right after you wrote this but somehow it didn’t get posted.
Sounds like you understand why I am so Smitten with the St. Moritz area. I stayed in an old Hotel a few klicks from St.Moritz that might have been the small community you spoke of. I like it there better than the newer part of St. Moritz.
Don’t know if it would be a viable alternative now, but in the early 2000’s when I was working a lot in Europe I flew non stop to and from Zurich a number of times. I would fully expect that they still offer such flights and it’s not that far from St. Moritz to Zurich. Nice airport too. The train station is right down the escalator from the airline ticket counters.
There is an enclosed skyway type walkway between the parking garage and the terminal. Almost every time I was there, a guy was playing a harp for change. The music reverberated wonderfully through the hallway.
