I kinda doubt it, which is unfortunate. Only option besides visiting yourself would be to ask a Swiss member to stop by for you  :)

Been there - liked Lucern best. Took boat out on Lake Lucern and cog-wheel train up Mount Pilatis. Wonderful and beautiful area. 
Didn't make it to Ibach :-(   Wish I had thought about it then. Now too old and decrepit for another trip.
