I like trains, but not in the commute! Bad means "pool" in German, so you will likey be near the water. You are going to some great places. Even though you will be working, the views during commute will be nice, as will food options. The trains are the way to go in Switzerland, they are very good, and environmentally friendly. As for chocolate, swiss choclate is either very milky or ultra dark. For store bought - Alpenmilch and Lindt are very good. But check out the local chocolateers. If you like alcohol, try dunkle bier and Eiswein. Have a great trip.
